"Every year we run this race, and every year we get to the finish line... only to face the prospect of preparing for festive events and family gatherings, entertaining children and preparing ourselves for whatever fresh disaster hell our superheated global climate is readying for us. It's exhausting. This year feels especially hard."
"The news cycle keeps delivering horrors, shocks and moral affronts that drain our reserves... all the while many of us try to squeeze in a few more days of paid work because the dollar doesn't stretch that far these days and we need all the money we can get."
"When it comes to reasons for anxiety and exhaustion, the cost-of-living crisis is pretty high on the list. Rising prices for food and housing are never far from the headlines, but wages aren't keeping up."
"We also spend less time on leisure and personal care than the OECD average. People who are in full-time employment are doing more hours than they're paid for, and certainly more hours than they want to be doing."
