Collapsing onto the couch with Netflix is tempting, and has its place. But as this decade wraps, we're ten times as tired, so we need some turbocharged recovery techniques.
in time to offer a bit of downtime to rest and recup from the efforts, celebrations, and frustrations of the previous 365 days. This year, the exhaustion seems bigger. Perhaps even ten times bigger.
