Coronavirus will also cause a loneliness epidemic
COVID-9 exacerbates another long-standing and serious pandemic: Loneliness.
Loneliness can literally cause physical illness. People most at risk from COVID-19 are the elderly and disabled, and they’re more likely to be lonely too.

Procrastination is Not Laziness
David Cain at Raptitude:
… procrastinators tend to be people who have, for whatever reason, developed to perceive an unusually strong association between their performance and their value as a person. This makes failure or criticism disproportionately painful, which leads naturally to hesitancy when it comes to the prospect of doing anything that reflects their ability — which is pretty much everything.”
So much here is true for me. Sometimes, when I’m particularly hard on myself, I think I could have accomplished so much more.
And by “sometimes” I mean “often.” Maybe every day.
Why Walking Matters—Now More Than Ever
Shane O’Mara at The Wall Street Journal:
Walking is essential to our nature. Walking upright is one thing that sets humans apart; no other animal does it, but we can’t do without it.
Walking helps the body heal, helps the brain function. Walking, rather than seeing, is how we build metal maps of our environment. And walking protects us against depression.
I walk 3+ miles daily.
