I know what it's like to get home after I do my show from home, but after the end of the day, just want to sit on my couch and watch the most mindless TV and not talk to anybody and not do anything terribly engaging.
Does that kind of relaxation recovery, does it matter a lot for burnout, which is when at the workplace, we're just completely, totally expended?
This idea of household chaos comes up in your research.
Can you speak to me more about that?
Like, is this need to relax, maybe take some screen time?
Is it particularly important if I live in a very chaotic household with children screaming and things like that?
And what are the activities?
And now I mentioned TV, phones.
Could video games for some people be added to this list?
Now, video games kind of surprises me because you think it's kind of like intellectually stimulating.
So what happens when I engage in these activities?
I come home, I've got this chaotic environment at home, I've got this stressful environment at work, and I finally get my hour on the couch to watch mindless reality TV or whatever my poison is.
What happens then?
What's the benefit?
There's this moral sort of judgment associated with certain activities.
Like I come out of my office after a long day.
I see my girlfriend laying on the couch in her PJs on TikTok and I try not to judge her.
And I think she does the same thing for me when she knows I have to get some work done and I can't stop watching YouTube videos.
We judge each other for it.
I suppose in some cases we even judge ourselves for it, thinking that we've really wasted our free time.
