REST DOESN'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL EVERYTHING IS FINISHED

If you wait until everything is finished before you rest, you're going to be waiting for a very long time.

There will always be another email, another idea, another person who needs something or another way the business could improve.

You can decide that an ordinary Wednesday evening is enough reason to stop.

You can take a Saturday off even though there are things you could be doing.

You can sit outside for an hour without turning it into productive thinking time.

Rest belongs inside a full life.

And when you're actually rested, you tend to have more patience, clearer thinking and more capacity for the people and work that matter to you.

You don't have to arrive at the edge of exhaustion before you're allowed to take care of yourself.
