Here’s the sad reality we’re all facing as we work from home by ourselves: we need breaks during the day. Not that some of us aren’t busier than ever – it’s just we’ve all regained that commuting time, as well as canceled events time, driving to and from time, etc. And sitting in a chair all day takes its toll. What can we do to keep our spirits up and amuse us now?
I tried to find the most popular videos on YouTube during COVID-10 but Google thought I wanted to see COVID-19 videos. Nope. Not even a little bit. I’m looking for something to watch besides all the hours of politicians talking, other countries warning their citizens, and the talking heads.
Here’s a totally subjective list of videos to watch now – silly and fun videos for when you need a break. If you have any you’d like to add, let me know and I’ll add more. I NEED these for my sanity! (Bonus points if you tell me how many hours you wasted watching these. And remember, as Drew Carey says, the points don’t matter…)
