"Are you a productivity freak or someone who likes to go easy on themselves?" says Flora Tsapovsky. "Never has this distinction mattered or been debated more than during quarantine times. Should you use the time saved not commuting to tackle a list of new skills, or give in to pajamas and zero effort? For team productivity, Covid-19 has brought compulsive baking, obsessing over self-optimization, and poring over all the new reads. For the people taking it easy, you too can find endless lists of comforting practices, self-compassion tips, and articles that rid you of guilt. Allow us to present another comforting activity that’s a bit of both: saying no to all the latest Netflix offerings and rewatching a TV show or movie you already love. In times of uncertainty, the power of familiarity and repetition may outweigh novelty and excitement. On the other hand, you’re doing something, right."
