The article “Intuition and Education” by Emily Sadowski, mentions how Intuition offers a balance between the quality of being guided and the base that knowledge is acquired through reason, without the aid of the senses: like solving a problem on a piece of paper. Intuition is a direct awareness of things around you, your second nature to your experience and reality. It uses all of your senses and reason to make your own decisions of action and how you perceive them. Ms. Sadowshi also mentioned that we truly don’t know the cognitive fusion into intuition, but only theorize that intuition is a form of expertise and not experience, disregarding the minor but simple things that we as humans go through every day in our self-awareness

Continuing with Self-awareness can exploit limitations in how much work you are given. In “Don’t Overload Students: Assigning Too Much Work Discourages Learning”, by Ms. Marianne Stenger, overlays details on how overloading students can hinder learning abilities in schools, both mentality and physically straining students on assignments or projects that are needed to be due. Sometimes students are affected for life by the strain of getting work done and impacting connections with families, friends, or people.

Being overworked isn’t the only thing that hinders students from learning. There are students that can’t work or choose not to work or study, but don’t let that fool you. There are Students who, at a young age, could have formed a learning disability that prevents them from reading, writing, or learning mathematical equations, including learning how to spell or understand another language. Choosing not to work is an entirely different matter, but those that can’t work shouldn’t fall under that category. 

“Learning disorders often need extra help and instruction that are specialized for them.”

With newer technology in the world today, there has been larger access to the internet and social media that can help us and distract us. From the palm of our hands to the surface of our tables, we find ourselves lost in our own time usage, finding ourselves looking deeper towards the blue screen for information and entertainment. 

There is a way to get out of this loop of getting distracted by taking responsibility for our time and ourselves. 

This is Yana Savitsky who performed at a TEDxYouth event designed to highlight students, teachers, and innovative thinkers that have ideas worth spreading. When she was a sophomore at Lake Forest High School, she found her own way of learning and changing her studying habits when she realized she was struggling with time managing and keeping up with the class. 

“... here I am now, I’m not the perfect student.. But the Pomodoro (The study method she used) has changed me, changed the way I think and act about my work,” (Savitsky,2020).

She learned about herself by finding her limits and needs when it comes to working, including her own self-care. Students like Savitsky can help others around the world and the U.S. how to manage their time in their own way and find ways to avoid distractions. Applying to the needs then the wants.
