Covid-19 has shaken up our lives in all the ways and this second wave of covid-19 is giving a really tough time to everyone. Most of the cities are currently in lockdown state and Government has created containment zones for breaking the chain of this deadly virus.This looks like flashback of scary 2020.
My society is also in containment zone from last month due to many active cases , so no Super Heroes (my cook and house cleaner) are allowed for helping. Yesss!! they are Super Heroes, this pandemic has made me realise their importance , they are the one who convert our house into home when we all are busy in making our life more luxurious.
Well, these restrictions are imposed for our own safety and we should respect them, so no option left other than picking up “Broom” in one hand and “Mop” in the other hand. It gets really tough managing a high demanding job with these daily house chores . You have back to back meetings with team members and from behind utensils in kitchen screams “Please clean us ,We have piled up!! no space left now”. And even somehow you get time to clean them up , but washing them is so boring that you ended up being frustrated, tired.
And most annoying part is those 3–4 hours you used to keep for your side hustles now getting wasted and you feel helpless.
So I thought of making these hours more productive and enjoyable. First I started listening music ,it made this process little fun but then again there was no productivity , so I started listening my fav “PODCASTS” and trust me it did wonders. I started enjoying doing these chores, just imagine I am washing my dishes and listening “Tales of Silicon Valley” straight from my kitchen. Sounds fun right !!! A 2016 study shared that listening to some narrative stories can stimulate multiple parts of your brain and boosts your endorphins.(Happy Hormones !!!). Listening podcasts has become “meditation” for me, it keeps me calm, composed and anxiety free.
