Spring Fever ENJOY WARM WEATHER WHILE STUCK INDOORS
Try working outside. If your boss will allow it, there’s probably some opportunity to do a bit of work outdoors. Meetings and conference calls might offer your best option. For in-person meetings, your coworkers will also likely relish a chance to take it outdoors. In the event of a conference call, you won’t need to convince anyone else — grab your laptop and go! It’s not the same as enjoying the weather while you’re off the clock, but it’s a lot better than being cooped up inside. With any luck, these tips will help you make it to Friday with your sanity intact. And luckily, the weekend is always just around the corner.
The weather is warming up, the sun is out — and you’re trapped inside. Most of us have jobs that leave us stuck indoors during spring’s prime midday hours, and it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out on the season’s best parts. Unfortunately, your boss probably won’t give you the day off just because of the gorgeous weather. So, we’ve compiled the next best thing — some tips to enjoy the season as much as you can while also getting your job done. Bring the outdoors in. When the weather is nice, open as many curtains and blinds as possible. The natural light will warm up the room and brighten your mood. While you’re
at it, try opening the windows and positioning yourself near one. If you can’t be outside, the spring breeze on your face is the next best thing. Plants decrease stress, and having them on your desk might also trick your brain into feeling less cooped up. Take a break. You’ve still got to work, but that doesn’t mean you can’t sneak in a few minutes outdoors. Use your break for an outdoor stroll; if possible, you can also walk or bike to work. At the very least, park farther away to give yourself time to enjoy the weather. Volunteer to do a coffee run, pick up lunch, or take out the mail — you’ll be an office hero while catching some rays at the same time.
vision due to their injury. Sometimes, TBI can result in permanent vision loss. But more often, treatment is available.
Our brains control everything we do. So, when a person suffers a traumatic brain injury (TBI), the consequences can be unpredictable and far-reaching. Not all impairments will be apparent immediately, so TBI sufferers need to watch for symptoms. This vigilance should include close attention to one’s vision and eye health. Just as your brain lets you move your legs, it also interprets information from your eyes and turns it into sight. As a result, damage to your vision can result not only from injury to your cornea, retina, or optic nerve, but it can also stem from your brain’s visual cortex, located at the back of your head. Because many people don’t think vision problems are connected to their TBI, they often don’t seek the appropriate help. Yes, someone with a TBI might need glasses due to the effects of aging. But according to the Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association, 90% of people who suffer a TBI encounter reduced Know When to Seek Help Traumatic Brain Injury Can Cause Vision Issues
Someone with a TBI can encounter a large number of different vision disorders. They may suffer from double vision or experience loss of their peripheral vision, both highly disorienting conditions. Other people experience tracking problems, which interrupts their ability to follow a moving object, or eye coordination disorders, where vision remains unfocused. Sometimes, a person with a TBI will see just fine but find themselves unable to interpret visual information in a way that makes sense. Unfortunately, some people will never fully recover their original vision. But often, corrective or specialized eyeglasses can help, as can eye patches. In some cases, therapy techniques can retrain a TBI sufferer’s eyesight. And in cases where treatment is not possible, the injured person will need to learn how to adapt to a life with no or severely reduced vision. If you or a loved one starts experiencing vision problems after a traumatic brain injury, don’t put off seeking help. When notified of the TBI, your eye doctor can run tests to diagnose the condition and create a treatment plan. If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, you may also be entitled to compensation.
