Think of something you are not good at such as cleaning utensils, fixing a plug, or chopping vegetables. Even if you are in public, waiting at the dentist’s, or traveling, you can learn important life skills on the way.

Your problems can seem much more manageable after some time to yourself and some clean underwear.
