Do this for a dose of “Before Times” normalcy

📋 Today’s Tip: Make that boring appointment you’ve put off. (It’ll be fun!)

Imagine it: You go to a place that’s not your home. You sit down. Someone talks to you, while you look at something that’s not the wall above your WFH desk. Someone else is in charge; your job is just to relax and be still. That’s right…you’re at the dentist’s office.

“This is what a year of quarantine does to a person: It makes a dentist appointment feel like the spa,” as Kristin Wong writes on Medium.“I’d forgotten what everyday life was like before COVID. It’s exciting to think that by summer, we might be able to travel, see friends, celebrate. It’s also exciting to think about the return to a mundane world full of dentist appointments and waiting in line.” Boring, necessary things like dentist appointments are back, or are about to be. Make that appointment you’ve put off for the past year. And when you get there, savor the sheer stupid normalcy of it. We may some day take normal life for granted again, but for now, it feels so good.
