Feel like you're running out of time before the holidays start? If you're like us, working up until the weekend means using what scraps of time you have left in the evening to pick up groceries for family dinners, buy gifts, clean, cook, maybe keep the kids busy, and maybe—just maybe—find time to socialize.
That's time anxiety talking, a common psychological condition that'll make you feel rushed, stressed out, and anxious about time. It's the fear of being late, the fear of not having enough time to do things, or the fear of not being able to control time—but it's normal.
Don't check out. This is the home stretch, and we've put together a selection of events, openings, and more to help you kick back.
