2020 changed the way we work - most businesses had employees working from home throughout the pandemic. But now, some years on from COVID, despite proving that our productivity increased during that time, we find ourselves still facing the discussion about returning to the office. While some employees are actively fighting the full time return to the CBD, others are embracing the return - but not for the reason you might think. In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at why people are choosing Friday as the day of choice to be back in the office. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

We all know how it feels after a rough night of tossing and turning only to have your alarm clock go off way too soon. We now have the technology on our wrists to track our sleep patterns, providing us with data to show exactly how deep, long and restful our sleep is, but what if you're not getting good sleep? We know sleep is one of the most important aspects of a journey to good health, so what damage does a bad nights sleep do to us. In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at how we can recover from a bad sleep and how to ensure we get the most out of our shut-eye for the rest of 2023.

Since the beginning of human existence, we have had a relationship with the afterlife and those who reportedly inhabit it. We tell stories of those spirits who aren't able to transition into the next life, spending their time tied to this one, haunting the people who remain, but there is an important role that telling ghost stories has on the psyche of humans. Could the paranormal and supernatural give us perspective on our place in the universe? Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

Over the weekend a young fan died while at a Taylor Swift concert in Rio. While her cause of death has not been revealed, much has been said about the fact that the heat index that day reached 59.3 degrees celsius. Could this be yet another impact of climate change that we didn't fully comprehend, when attending a concert might just be too dangerous for our health?

The selfie camera has gotten TOO good. But isn't that what we want? Well, yes, to a point, but our front facing cameras, the ones we take all our selfies with, is no longer giving us the soft focus vibe we used to know and love. In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at whether the selfie camera is changing the way we see ourselves and whether it's really the camera, the phone itself or us that are perceiving the new pictures as worse than the old ones.
