Days and nights seem like the only distinguishing features right now, and that because of the visual cues. Psychologists, I have read, would suggest this is because the days don&#8217;t have the normal distinguishing features. Makes sense. If you don&#8217;t have a sport practice or a musical rehearsal to get to, if your weekly book club is canceled, all of the days seem like &#8230; Tuesdays, or whatever they seem like to you. <\/p>\n<p>But, then, that&#8217;s just your programming. How did that work before the before times? Before all of the serious structure that we&#8217;ve anchored everyone too? I suppose they were a different sort of drudgery, more back breaking, and without conditioned air and ice cubes, without an entire universe of streaming distractions. <\/p>\n<p>See? Not so bad, not knowing what day it is, when you think about in those terms.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/blog\/banners\/bannertodayspodcast.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Tom Duszynski from the Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI in Indianapolis talked with me about where we are with the stay-at-home plans and what could happen next.
