The 2024 presidential election is coming to some sort of conclusion (don’t forget to vote), but 24/7 slog is making many of us anxious. Thankfully Belladonna made a post about 'How not to freak out about the US election' and plenty of people chimed with advice about how to stay somewhat calm. Hang in there everyone, an end is in sight!

I want to come up with a long list of activities I can refer to that will help me 'get out of my head' - in other words, the activities are so (manageably, safely) intense or consuming or absorbing that I don't have the time or mental space to waste on unimportant worries and anxieties that would otherwise eat me alive.
Ask Mefi helps nightrecordings out with some distraction action.
