It might not sound exciting, but everyday chores can actually give your health a boost. Cardiologists at the Cleveland Clinic say any activity that gets you moving counts as exercise. Vacuuming, mopping, and even hauling laundry help keep your body active—and it all adds up, even if you’re only moving for short bursts of time.
Another topic getting attention is “time blindness.” Psychologists use this term to describe the difficulty some people have judging the passage of time, which often leads to chronic lateness. Anxiety, depression, and especially ADHD can make time management a real struggle. Experts say the best way to stay on track is through planning and preparation, such as building routines and setting reminders.
Finally, while retirement is often seen as a reward after years of work, it can come with unexpected challenges. For some, leaving the daily routine behind can lead to loneliness or a loss of purpose. Mental health professionals recommend replacing work with meaningful activities—volunteering, adopting a pet, or staying socially connected—to maintain both emotional well-being and a sense of fulfillment.
