Sick days typically aren’t fun for anyone, and if you have a chronic illness it can be even more unpleasant. You may be in the middle of a project that desperately needs to be worked on, or perhaps you’re in school — whatever it is, you have a life and getting sick usually doesn’t fit into that equation. While getting sick/having a relapse/flare-up/being on bedrest may feel like a setback, we’ve rounded up a list of beautifully designed apps and programs that we hope will help you to feel like you’re still accomplishing something. Whether that’s learning a new language, brushing up on dormant skills, listening to podcasts to feel like you’re still learning something (even if it is from bed, or a fetal position while you gently rock yourself back and forth…), or simply just playing a well-designed game to take your mind off of your illness, all of these are happy distractions. —Rebekah

Bonus podcasts: While they’re not design-related, they are hilarious — Two Dope Queens and Sooo Many White Guys have stand-up and interviews with cool people that may not typically be represented as frequently as they ought to be. And, as the saying goes, sometimes laughter can be the best medicine!
