In the neoliberal context, in which the culture of auditing and meritocracy and the logic of self-entrepreneurship prevail and in which education is understood as a commodity, there is malaise inside and outside teaching. In this scenario, this article aims to problematize the current neoliberal rationality inside and outside the classroom. This is a discursive analysis of the sayings by three higher education professors about care (of the self), based on Foucault's theoretical-analytical tools, with the aim of pointing out to what extent the effects of meaning of the subject's (self-)responsabilization for their choices emerge in their testimonies. The analysis leads us to the presence of modes of objectification, for example, to (post-) modern time management techniques, a very appreciated asset in the neoliberal context, in the endless pursuit of productivity, effectiveness/efficiency and self-entrepreneurship. However, the analysis also signaled the desire to take care of oneself more and better, with good time management being seen by the professors as one of the ways to achieve this. Although such strategies are permeated by neoliberal techniques of governmentality, aiming, in different ways, to conduct our conduct, we do not aim to criticize them, but only to reveal how the use of time management techniques, paradoxically necessary for surviving/living in the contemporary world, lead us surreptitiously. In this context, care of the self, as understood by Michel Foucault, in the sense of inventing new ways of life, could emerge as a possibility of producing counter-conducts, betting on the relationship with oneself as an alternative, a form of resistance in the face of power. This care which is sometimes suffocated by the generalized competitiveness that governs us.
