We all multitask. We check our email, then switch back to our work, then check our phones… but this isn’t actually how the brain was designed to work. Apparently, we’d be much more effective and productive if we took 15 minute do-nothing-but-stare breaks every couple of hours. I’m going to try to start doing this. Are you?
 Super-Fascinating Facts About CowsNo, really — you’ll be amazed by this list of facts (and the adorable photos that accompany them!) |  Multitasking Drains Your Brain’s Stored EnergyFor all us multi-taskers, taking breaks doesn’t seem to come naturally anymore. But science shows that’s exactly what we need to do… |
| People generally (mistakenly) think they’ll get something better by paying more for it. See what happens when a Brazilian pet store passes of shelter pets as purebreds for sale: | |

That article about cow made me guilty 🙁 *sigh*
Without even reading the whole article, I would 100% agree that multi-tasking is NOT good for the brain. Experience taught me that I accomplish less (or nothing at all) if I try to multi-task.
I take social media as distraction (and one of the reasons to multi-task for the wrong reason) that’s why I have set personal time to check and update social media accounts.
I didn’t know cows carry their young for nine months! Surprising information! Thanks for this 🙂
Well said, Sister Joan Chittister! That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking about the ‘issue’ with the pro-life movement.
That’s so awesome that they chose a bond girl who isn’t the standard model in heels. Progress!!
Seriously?! I can’t believe the new Bond girl (woman) is 50!
Another great collection of articles =)
Looking forward to next Friday!
Monica Beluci is 50??? How is this possible?
Excellent weekly roundup. I hadn’t seen about the newest Bond “girl” or in this case it should be Bond woman (finally). I had already seen the Jimmy Kimmel video and I’m glad it was included in the weekly roundup. The New York magazine cover and article is so powerful, Cosby can no longer hide or deny. But Trump…. he is such an asinine idiot, I wish he got no media coverage at all, even though his idiocy is entertaining.
I think I’m on board with this new Bond girl. Hotter than some of the previous ones I think! Also, I think that quote from Joan Chittister is spot on.. really eye opening and sheds a whole new light on “pro-life.”
When I read about what happened to Cecil, I felt extremely bad. I hope they catch the culprit soon.
