As an experiment and sacrifice lol I decided to sign up for Jordan’s free programs this month. I like to listen to podcasts on my commute to work, so I listened to her babble about productivity. I can’t believe people pay for this garbage. “Work in sprints and not Marathons” is what she keeps saying. But what she describes passionately is quantity over quality. Everything needs to be multitasked and quickly accomplished. I never believed that. Working at the bank for years I had to be fast for customers but if I give customers back the wrong change as a result of my poor quality of service can get me fired. Same with being a midwife now I cannot speed things up and only give my patience the quality of service and care during their pregnancies and labours. My appointments definitely go longer than they should be but so is everyone. Quality is much more effective than speed of service and care.
As a parent:SAME DAMN THING. 6 second hugs? How about just spend quality time instead of counting how long your affection lasts. Ugh.
Nothing new to what she talks about in her YouTube videos. Maybe more at length. And her second to last video on productivity talks about how our children don’t have rights in their homes but privilege. Everything Ruby Griffiths-Frankie rambles about is exactly what Jordan page does. It must be discussed in their friend circles bc what she talked about was exactly that. Our kids don’t have rights. Wtf teach them to take responsibility and stop coddling them. She talks about it for about 5 minutes. It’s just so sad.
The productivity she preaches is just over the top. She’s preaching what we see her do and not have any time for her kids but “definitely have plenty time for your spouse!” She’s preaching to overwork yourself and multitask everything and anything from brushing teeth while cleaning the sink, “while I have soap on my hands form washing them why not clean the sink with that soap” to be more efficient. Little things like that and more. She goes into death about the block schedule. It explains why she needs a 6 second hug for each kid. You guys are right everything must be compartmentalised for her. It’s a must for her. Anyway I just can’t believe people pay for this crap. How much are these normally? Shaking my head.
