In a crisis, our response mode is usually fight or flight
But there’s also a 3rd response which is often overlooked: freeze. Some people get paralysed & don’t know how to act

BUT there’s a huge amount of #hustle porn doing the rounds about how we should all be super productive rn
Um hello, this isn’t a small shift to a ‘wfh’ culture it’s a global pandemic + economic meltdown
Instead this read by @ProfAishaAhmad is spot-on https://www.chronicle.com/article/Why-You-Should-Ignore-All-That/248366

I’m grateful for my #psychology to use as a lens to observe this moment as I experience it. It helps me make sense of it
