Putter around, declutter, do the dishes, go for a walk, sit and craft \u2014 <em>whatever<\/em>. We\u2019re looking for something your brain can do in the background so you can focus on the call, and, conversely, really give it your all. I\u2019ve been known to clean a whole house or two in my time catching up with people. But a personal favorite when I\u2019m still is watching craft videos, and specifically resin makers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">These videos have the benefit of being soundless, save for an eerie soundtrack you can mute while you\u2019re on the call, but with intricate, procedural crafting work. It\u2019s the sort of thing that I am fascinated by, to a degree that it almost overwhelms my innate sense that I could never be cut out for this line of work. It\u2019s mesmerizing and incredible. Every step is its own skill set, and every one gives way to this remarkable whole. I, personally, spent several long phone calls last year wrecking my YouTube algorithm by watching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@minibrickscraft\">Minibricks\u2019 channel<\/a>, which I felt had a great mix of artistry, humor, and reveal. But the beautiful thing about a long catch-up call is it affords you the opportunity to let the robots do their thing and take you on an adventure; once you finish one resin model, it\u2019s on to the next. And before too long you\u2019ll have caught up with all your loved ones \u2014 and have a strong desire to buy a resin shark lamp.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/yuletide-youtube\/495094\/family-phone-youtube-hack-resin-videos-rule\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holidays come with a lot of family talk.
