The thrill of getting is fleeting. The joy of giving lasts.

Data: happiness fades quickly when we buy gifts for ourselves, but sustains when we give gifts to others or donate to charity.

Giving is the greatest source of meaning.

Long vacations rarely cure burnout. They usually bring temporary relief.

The frequency of time off from work matters more than the duration. 2 separate week-long vacations are more restorative than a 2-week trip.

Regular breaks are vital to well-being.

Just 11 adults are responsible for 60% of requests of ban books from school libraries nationwide, according to a Washington Post analysis of the 2021-2022 school year. https://t.co/DVi5zJN35S

Why why why why why are we still forcing so many of our students to take the PSAT? #makeitmakesense #IsaidwhatIsaid

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

“If I make this choice and I do not get into the college(s) that I am hoping to, will I still be glad I made it?”

You can never go wrong being true to yourself.

Students often wonder what they "should" do to be competitive college applicants. My latest Forbes piece tries to recenter the answer on well-being:

@SSUProvost Feel better soon!

@halcyonfoster @DingleTeach Looking at an analog clock can help students see and *feel* a sense of time passing - past, present, future - and can help with executive functioning skills. (Also, analog watches are worn by all the cool kids in GenZ.)

Tip your server. Return your shopping cart. Pick up a piece of trash. Hold the door for the person behind you. Let someone into your lane. Small acts can have a ripple effect. That's how we change the world.⠀⠀

I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. #SupportLibraries

[Aaron Chalfin @AaronChalfin]

How admissions to top universities in the US really works as revealed by a simple comparison between one of NYC's top public high schools (Stuyvesant HS) and one of NYC's top private high schools (Horace Mann School). A short thread with some basic descriptive statistics 👇👇

[Harry Dunn @libradunn]

Comparison is the thief of joy. The things that you've accomplished are no small feat, and you should be proud of yourself. Love and celebrate yourself. Your only competition should be YOU. Let's make today better than yesterday. 🖤 Good morning, y'all. #SaturdayVibes

[FairTest @FairTestOffice]

Affirmative action oral argument reveals that Court still thinks SAT scores are indicative of merit. Would not expect the Harvard/Yale bench (sorry Coney-Barrett, J.) to be able to see otherwise. Evidence be damned.

[Common App @CommonApp]

Heads up, students! Early Action and Early Decision deadline is just around the corner. You have until 11:59 pm your local time on Nov. 1 to submit. If you need help with your #CommonApp, remember support is available 24/7! Good luck! https://t.co/3X7PXgRwGJ

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

Have a student you're struggling with?

Try the 'two-by-ten' strategy:

For two minutes each day, 10 days in a row, have a personal conversation with the student about anything the student is interested in.

Wonderfully simple and wildly effective.
