Your "needle list" is secretly stressing you out. Here's what to do about it. If you’re anything like me, you have a running list of smallish tasks piling up in your head at all times: make an appointment for your annual physical, return that shirt you ordered online, drop off that bag of clothes to donate.Many of them don’t actually take much time to complete, and yet I put them off for weeks or months at a time.

Ever feel like your lower eyelid has its own heartbeat?I know mine is liable to twitch uncontrollably every once in a while, even though I can’t seem to find a good reason for the sudden cramping. According to the NHS, that’s likely fine. The stuttering skin is “common and very rarely a sign of anything serious,” they write. However, rarely, a twitching eye can reveal

A confession: I haven’t felt “myself” since 2020. I am less creative, less energetic, less excited than I once was for life. Of course, it’s understandable. I lived through a pandemic, I lost family members, my life shifted dramatically in a short space of time.Now I’m just tired, a lot. I do want to see people but not for too long. The second I get home, I go to bed. I lie there, I watch tv, I scroll on my phone and I just kind of... exist. Sometimes, this kind of rest is essential.

Don’t get me wrong ― I love The Traitors, which, like millions of others, I finally got into this year. In fact I’m become such a fan that I’ve even joined a few of Reddit’s r/Traitors live chats (don’t judge me! I can’t be expected to keep my feelings on Minah’s genius machinations to myself) in the last few weeks. But during those discussions, I’ve seen comment after comment repeating the same
