Today we will explore the concept of rest. Rest, downtime and taking a break are some of the most important things for us to do… but it seems particularly hard for high achievers to rest.
Great subject! I'm a big believer in breaks. I've personally been most moved by past-looking arguments (e.g. the last time you did X...) even more than forward looking ones (e.g. if you do X...)
On the large scale, I noticed that I experienced the most inner growth not during the college semester, but during the breaks after semesters (like how a muscle recovers when you sleep after a workout).
On the small scale, I noticed that if I was coding more than 2-3 hours in a stretch I would get stuck in total brain fog but a short meditation could reset that.
It's hard to deny your own life experience, so I've made changes since.

Love the topics you guys riff on!
