What won’t you miss from before the pandemic?


DISCOVERY PROMPT. What won’t you miss from before the pandemic? Here’s an exercise that Arthur C. Brooks recommends in a wonderful article in The Atlantic magazine.

“We all yearn for the end of the human suffering brought about by the pandemic. And many, if not most, of us look forward to the end of the constraints and inconveniences it has imposed. But deep inside, there are probably a few things you dread about going back to normal life. Each of us, if we are brutally honest, could make a list of the activities and relationships that we didn’t like in pre-pandemic times, but that we accepted through self-deception, sheer inertia, and the pressure to go along and get along.”

Think about this exercise in the context of the business you lead. What practice from before the pandemic will you bring back? What will you let go of?
