While we wait for the results of the election, it can be tempting to fixate on things we can't affect.

Unless you are a ballot counter, campaign attorney, or otherwise directly involved, your time and attention is better spent elsewhere.

It can be exhausting to keep refreshing your news apps and social media for the latest news from Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

I don't mean tired. Tired is how I feel after a good workout or a hard day of work. There is satisfaction in being tired.

Exhaustion, however, is different. It's what happens when you drain yourself without benefit.

Your corporate overlords are perfectly happy for you to exhaust yourself instead of working on improving your own opportunities. You are too worn out to cook, so you order out. You need retail therapy, so you buy stuff you don't need. Your exhaustion is their profit.

Don't worry, when the results come in, you'll hear about them. Until them, let them do their thing. You have your own thing to do.
