During this time of the year, all I want to do is relax. It’s been a long, challenging year of being me, and it’s only April, for Pete’s sake. My personal remedy for any burnout is two things: Dance Moms and Yahtzee. These two activities scratch my brain better than anything. I feel like it’s a medical miracle for burnout. Playing Dance Moms on my computer and playing Yahtzee on my phone simultaneously could almost cure any ailment. Combine these two with lying around, and I am the most well-rested person who ever lived. 

The key to these two activities is that they balance each other out. Dance Moms is so mindless; it’s unbelievable. It actively kills brain cells when you watch it. Yahtzee, on the other hand, is only slightly beneficial for your mind. It’s a game of luck and skill, but only a little skill. When thrust together, your brain goes wholly neutral and starts to build itself up from being burnt out.
