Use it or lose it

Rubik-magic-cube-practice-skill

I have noticed over this last year of pandemic measures that there are some things I am doing more of and some things I am doing less of.

If I do more of something, I get better at it. One way to think of this is the boundaries around my abilities expand. I have more room, more scope, and I can achieve more.

Conversely, if I do less of something the boundaries contract and become limiting. I get ‘out of practice’.

If we don’t use it, we start to lose it.

With vaccinations underway and the promise of lockdown easing slowly, I am wondering what skills have atrophied that I will miss as we establish a new way of life.

What about you?

What skills will you need again soon that have become blunt with lack of use?

My best wishes, Paul
