📚 Books & Reading
I was reading Amazon reviews of a book I was considering and noticed a couple of 1-star reviews and neither had anything to do with the content of the book or quality of the writing. One was regarding the shipping and the other was regarding a tear on the dust jacket. Even if I give the benefit of the doubt here and acknowledge a need to provide review feedback on such things, it would be nice to filter the review content to try and segregate substantive reviews of the content of the book from other reviews regarding shipping, service, or quality of the packaging. 🤷🏻
According to Adam Grant:
“Seeing leisure time as wasteful is bad for well-being.
New data: people who see play as unproductive enjoy it less—and are more likely to be anxious, depressed, and stressed.
Even if you don’t see fun as productive, it’s worth remembering there’s more to life than productivity.”
As I exit the weekend and begin my Monday feeling less than refreshed, I realize I need to work on accepting and enjoying leisure time. Perhaps, even intentionally schedule leisure time? Something to consider.
