    Procrastination is related to depression. Try more sleep, more sun and, if possible, long walks in a park or other natural environment. Other forms of exercise are also good.

    For me, it lets you know, of all the companies professing to put the customer first, which actually do. Some websites offer a one-click “No” option. Others require 27 different sel…
