found myself __39__ what to do with the afternoon since I had already completed my
high-impact tasks for the day.
Your mental well-being will receive a boost（提高）
Obviously, without a cellphone, I experienced a lack of __40__ news and
comments. While that helped cause a dramatic boost in my mental well-being, the
biggest reason for it was truly connecting to people.
