The Dhaka Times Desk After a long time, I would come home from work and immediately start watching TV. After a long day of work, meetings and email chains, I would start watching TV. But since last year I noticed that at the end of the day I always felt tired, had a headache and could not sleep properly at night.
So I devised a strategy. When I got home from work, instead of watching TV, I picked up a book. The results were amazing. After reading the book I regained energy to work again and even to work the next day. I read more books this year than any other year. I discovered this method kept me calm and kept me from being lazy.
So when I read a paragraph in Quartz, it described how much time I would make myself unhappy if I worked on screen. I used to have such a sad time. Well, it's no surprise that watching TV or staring at your phone for too long can't be good for you. But interestingly, extensive research has found that tasks that do not involve a screen or a screen make you happier than tasks that involve a screen.
So I thought of doing something that doesn't involve screens and will keep me very happy.
