She writes: The cult of productivity continues to grow. We’re encouraged to have more productive mornings and commutes, and even Sundays are becoming a day to squeeze in just a little more structure. But zoning out isn’t the issue here. Equating mindfulness with paying attention sells the practice short. It also suggests that mindfulness requires a Jedi mind—that all the folks Dhal imagines commuting and practicing mindfulness are doing so with the intention of levitating their crashed spacecraft out of a bog....
