Thrive Global is Ariana Huffington's vehicle to repackage the last several years of self-care fads and sell them to corporations under the guise of improving employee productivity. It doesn't have anything of value to add to the conversation, as this article makes clear.

Would you like to actually engage with the content of the article?

Edit: my snark was unwarranted, as commenters helped me realize. Apologies.

Kinda sad that the key to always being sharp is to make sure you’re always a little stressed, or uncomfortable or on edge or “out of your comfort zone”.

This is the type of thing that I hate about life. You are looked down by others for being content and your body also punishes you for being content.

It's rather that the body punishes you for being too content. One has to be content in moderation.

Beyond the mushy feels good and free advices from the article you might also want to check yourself for physical problems such as dehydration, Lyme disease, sleep apnea, chronic fatigue syndrome, poor diet, poor sleep, depression and other causes a googling for “brain fog“ should return.

Interestingly, GPT3 is great at generating content like this. It seems to thrive on the productivity niche. It could absolutely write this entire article!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Mental fog, for me, is a physical symptom of stress and exhaustion. It has nothing to do with having a clean workspace. The first sentence of the article is "mess creates stress". I don't see a contradiction. It could be that article is wrong, but I have heard many people express that sentiment. If you have evidence that it's not true, I would like to see it.

I think you‘ll find a hundred other things more stressful than a messy environment. Fighting with the partner, illness of a relative, someone yelled at me on the street, I slept too little,...

Saying "x is more stressful than y" does not negate that y creates stress

It could be due to inflammation

Paracetamol doesn't have a significant anti-inflammatory action.

This is literally the purpose of paracetamol. What do you feel it is for, if not as an anti-inflammatory aid?

EDIT: Interesting discussion in child comments, certainly news to me!

It creates stress, but an insignificant amount compared to everything else in your life.
