Even when the pandemic began nearly a year ago and many people were restricted from going anywhere or doing much of anything, the mindset of needing to be busy all the time persisted – albeit remotely. Add to that the fact that we’re all connected through our screens 24/7, and it’s leaving us mentally exhausted and chronically stressed.

This summer, my husband and I worked on a lot of construction projects. One of the things that I like about cutting the boards, nailing, sanding, and painting are that you have something to show for your efforts at the end of the day. With desk jobs, we rarely have any tangible output, making it difficult to identify and celebrate wins. When was the last time you celebrated the great work you’ve done?

Reality TV has always been a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. Growing up, I loved seeing the weird interior design transformations possible on “Trading Spaces,” most of which I’d be horrified to find in my own home. Later, that turned into lazy afternoons watching the cast of “Jersey Shore” get up to their ridiculous antics and justifying catching up on “Real Housewives” episodes because I’d watch while on an elliptical at the gym. .

Conferences, for example, tend to pack a lot of activity into a little bit of time, so there isn’t much spare time for attendees to give their feedback. That said, conference attendees do want to share their thoughts on the sessions they’re attending!
