Some assignments can set you up for promotion — this is the glamour work. Other assignments are necessary but unsung — this is the office housework. Research shows that women and people of color are much more likely to get housework-type assignments than to get assigned to glamour work. Managers and executives have to fix this imbalance if they’re going to make progress on corporate diversity goals. To do that, start keeping track of how projects are assigned in your organization. Managers can identify what the office housework is in their department and who is doing it, and spread out these humdrum assignments more evenly. For new glamour work assignments, consider all eligible employees, not just the ones who come to mind first or who ask to do it. Senior executives and HR leaders can help hold middle-managers accountable for making progress. The result will not only be a system that is fairer for women and minorities, but for all employees.

At the pool where I work, 90% of the staff are women. We have “parent-teacher conferences” twice during our lesson sessions to tell the parents how the kids are doing. The two kids involved in this are brothers, and the oldest is very clearly hydrophobic.

Several months after the deaths of her sons Joseph, Hyrum, and Samuel Smith, Lucy Mack Smith (1775–1856) began writing her history.

We justify, minimize, rationalize and avoid the issue either because we don't want to face the negative consequences of change (e.g., alimony or less time with our children) or are deriving some benefit or secondary [...]
I had the wonderful opportunity to attend BYU Women's Conference. In a breakout session Kara Murri said quoted President Nelson as saying "The Lord likes effort." I can't get the quote out of my head. Truth be told, I just want things to come easy. I want answers to come like a text message, but that is not how the Lord works. I need to prove to him I am willing and ready to receive his guidance in my life. It takes effort.
