Ep 47: Scheduling rest is essential
This week I am focusing on how to rest. Getting rest is essential. We have to celebrate rest. Rest is just as important as working hard, if not more. Rest allows us to create great work without destroying ourselves in the process. I've had a lot of problems with getting rest in my past. I used to stay up and work late into the night so much that I was actually hurting my ability to do good work. How do you prioritize rest?

This week I'm chatting about why it's so important to say no to things you like and yes to things you love. It can be easy to just go with the flow if you like it, but as it would turn out, that's not really the best idea.
