Most people don’t think about rest breaks until they’re already exhausted. If that’s you, you’re not alone—but you’re also doing yourself a disservice. I know because I’ve been guilty of this too. When my plate is overflowing, I cave in and skip my breaks. Before I know it, I’m slipping—whether it’s in focus, energy, or even motivation. The same thing happens when I sacrifice sleep to chase my goals. If you’re struggling to meet your goals, this might be the hidden culprit.
The solution? Rest before you get tired—and do it consistently.
Yesterday, I did something unusual at my day job. I asked my boss if I could leave four hours early. I wasn’t exhausted. I simply wanted to rest. When he said yes, my spirit soared. What a relief! My usual routine includes 15-minute breaks every two hours, but a four-hour break? That felt like a mini-vacation. It made me realize this might be the missing ingredient in my busy life.
Be cautious around people who claim they’re too busy for a vacation. The truth? They’re often just not organized enough to get things done, so they cheat themselves out of rest—making the problem even worse. Left unchecked, this cycle can go on for years.
Moving forward, I’m making rest a priority. How about you? Are you taking your breaks?
Have a great day!
