There’s something so meditative about connecting interlocking pieces to form a complex jigsaw puzzle. It’s calming. It’s engaging. It gives your brain a workout and lets you flex your problem-solving skills. And maybe most importantly right now, puzzles help pass the time. Kids, of course, have always loved them, but puzzles for adults are making a comeback. Unlike passively bingeing Netflix (apologies, Tiger King) while guzzling a cocktail, puzzles have the added benefit of letting you be entertained and focused and present. Pick one based on your skill level, your interests (Bavarian castles or cooking, perhaps), and how much of your time you want to devote to it. And build on.
