Hey, it's Kelly, and at the end of every week, I like to share something true and useful,

something I stumbled over that gave me a burst of optimism, something you can share with

friends like an audio greeting card, something to help us all keep our eyes on what's working

and what could be.

So, I'll be right back with this week's For The Good of the Order.

This is Kelly Corgan Wonders.

Hey guys, so for this week's For The Good of the Order, I wanted to follow up on my conversation

with Katherine Price on Tuesday, which I think goes to like feeling a little nuts and made

nuts by the ever-changing sands that is the ongoing pandemic.

And I really feel that that combined with our cultural obsession with multitasking is

enough to make us crazy.

Then you layer on to that screens and screen time and the amount of sort of intellectual

and emotional interruption and disruption that that represents, right, that you can't

even sit with a thought for long enough before another person knocks on your brain and

wants to be led in with their little bit of the world and their little bit of news and

their little problem that needs solving.

So more and more over the course of this week, I've been thinking about play and the kinds

of things I do that really honest to God, feel like a break from cell phones in the email,

a break from the news, which is to say a break from the pandemic, and a break from multitasking.

In a few weeks, a friend of mine, Kate Boller, has a book coming out.

It's called Good Enough and I was reading an early copy and finding this little section

valuable.
