What’s the one thing that’s actually working right now? 
Not grading on a curve, not a barely acceptable Band-Aid for these crazy times, but something you have found during these last months that you actually love and will totally keep doing? 
Our listeners told us all the things, from walking the dog to Grateful Dad cover shows, that they’re doing by themselves, with a socially distanced friend, or with a loved one at home, that are really enjoyable right now. 
The light-bulb moments for us in this episode were

in order to have fun socially-distanced friend time, you need to have a shared secondary activity. Even if it’s a beer pong app. 

in order to have renewing personal time, you need to have a fully engrossing, sensory-filling activity. Even if it’s mowing the lawn. 


keep it bite-sized. We don’t have to talk to our friends for half an hour, or not at all. 


What all these discoveries have in common is that it took what our listener Mollie calls “the leisure to dwell on little things” in order to find them. We love that. For that one thing, we are pretty grateful.
