What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?
As I grow older, the years seem to become more eventful. The positive events from last year include:
Managing screen time
Managing screen time is important, especially if you want to have a decent work – life balance and have some control over your sanity. I work in the computer industry. Which makes it mandatory that I stare at a computer screen for hours at a time. I also have the habit of waking up early – early as at 3.30 AM – every day of the year. I work till 8 PM. This would make it an extra long work day, but I have an advantage in that I work remotely. I am also living alone at the moment, which means I get to cook, wash clothes and dishes – OK the washing machine helps, but still. All these extra curricular activities give me a break from staring at the screen. I try to avoid reading or texting on my cell phone, using my desktop monitor for all that activity.… Managing screen time
Lazy days or easy day
I wouldn’t call them lazy days, but I like to take it a bit easier on Saturdays and Sundays. These are my days to stock up on groceries for the week, finish up any last-minute work reports, and generally dial back on the workloadif possible. These “easy days” are essential for unwinding, giving both the body and mind a chance to recharge. The key is to savor every minute of your weekend. Given the state of the worldwith conflicts erupting in so many cornersit could very well be our last weekend to enjoy.
