I'm condemned to a week-long meeting soon, and it makes me want to put a shotgun in my mouth to even think about it. What can I do to make it more bearable?

My goto brain game is how many digits of long division I can do just in my head. Usually only like 7-10 cause I'm dumb.

Get into writing your own fiction stuff you're really interested in. My science fiction universe is about the first stage of interstellar colonization. I love working out the technology and what the experience might be like without any fantasy magic involved. The best part is the positivity that comes with imagining a distant future and what is actually possible. It creates perspective about where we are actually at now and how limited it truly is.
