#BreakThings: A Downtime Plan

01.19.21

This weekend, I just needed to sit in one place, in my pajamas, put on a face mask and chill. When my husband asked what my Saturday plans were, my answer was “to have no plans.” And while that was amazing for one weekend, I want to make better use of my future days off.

Which brings me to the first thing of the day…

If you prioritize your work time, then you should have a plan for your down time. Self discusses how to create priority list for the fun, relaxing things that you want to do eventually — maybe it’s time to start knitting or watch that show everyone is talking about or learn to make meringue. So if you find yourself with some expected or unexpected free time, you can use it wisely.

Do you have a specific way that you like your chocolate chip cookies? Maybe you prefer soft over crispy or thick over thin… Whatever your preferences, this fun web-tool lets you input them to find the recipe that works best for your needs. Cookie perfection is within reach.

This cardigan is such a fun option for keeping at your desk or in your home office. It gets so chilly in mine, and this bigger sleeves fit over my suit jackets no problem. The sweater also has a great chunky style that feels very cozy.

When was the last time that you just sat and listened to music? No doom scrolling, no cooking, no cleaning, just deep listening? No, I can’t remember either. LA Times argues for the return of real listening to our music lives.

Ted Lasso is a show that everyone talked about, and I am late to the party. But oh, what a chill, charming party it is.

Whether you like soccer or not, you will love Ted Lasso. It was the break I needed after a stressful week. The show has heart without being treacly.
