Chapter 3: Scientific Management

"Scientific Management at the Gym," I thought this was an interesting title, especially when I began to read it. It mentions, "for many people, exercise is a therapeutic means of escaping the daily grind and a way to work out stress on the job and in life." That is exactly what I do, I like to go to the gym, listen to my i-pod and workout. To me, I feel a lot better when I sweat my stress away. As silly as this sounds, but for me it works. I think that it's interesting that the scientific management would be considered management at the gym. It's completely understandable, people are always trying to find new ways to make their schedules work, especially in this busy world. As mentioned, "many working families today adopt a scientific management approach in their efforts to give order to their busy lives." I find myself doing the same when it comes to school work and my job. I'm always writing important due dates on my calendar so that I don't forget.
