Experienced Comedian and Sales Development Director - I help people have fun and blow away their pipeline goals
Ever thought doing nothing could be the key to your success? Today, I’m embracing rest, not as a recharge for more work, but for its own sake. Feeling the weight of the work week? In a world that glorifies constant productivity, it's vital to remember the importance of rest for its own sake, not just as a means to recharge for more work. As Oliver Burkeman highlights, perpetual busyness isn’t the key to a fulfilling life. We often get caught up in the hustle, thinking that more work equals more success. But true fulfillment comes from balance, and sometimes, that balance means doing absolutely nothing. Alex Soojung-Kim Pang emphasizes in his writings that rest is a skill, not a luxury. It’s essential for creativity and long-term success. By taking time to rest, we’re actually investing in our future productivity and well-being. It’s about finding that sweet spot where rest and work complement each other, rather than one overpowering the other. Jenny Odell, in her book "How to Do Nothing," reminds us that stepping away from the grind allows us to reconnect with ourselves and the world around us. It’s not just about recharging for the next round of work; it’s about enjoying the act of resting itself. Today, I'm embracing that philosophy wholeheartedly. Whether it’s a walk in the park, getting lost in a good book, or simply lounging around doing nothing, let's honor our need for rest and revel in the rejuvenation it brings. Taking this time isn’t a sign of laziness but a testament to understanding the true value of balance in our lives. So, join me in embracing this pause. How are you taking time to rest today? Let's celebrate the power of doing nothing and the incredible benefits it brings to our minds and bodies.
It's crucial to find ways to recharge, it's the only way to make sure you stay running at optimal efficiency
I take a power nap of 30 minutes daily, which helps me so much! Closed $2350 in revenue last week thanks to it

1wBrendon, I get it. But have you considered that rest might be a luxury for some, especially entrepreneurs? Not a popular opinion, I know, but would love your thoughts.
