The secret to prosperous progress. 💛

Let me tell you a secret you already know.

Yeah. You know this,

and I know this,

but we are always forgetting.

The secret:

We are most efficient

most creative

most focused

most healthful

when we are well-rested.

Whatever it is you want to do -

literally a n y t h i n g on your list -

is easier and better when your cup is full.

So.

If whatever project you're working on isn't flowing smoothly,

if you're feeling meh about whatever's on your list,

the very VERY best thing you can do

is rest, replenish, recharge.

I know it can be scary.

(White patriarchal capitalism depends on us agreeing that rest is degenerate)

But really:

resting is the most generative, generous, evolutionary thing we can do.

We humans cannot go on like this.

So let's not.

love,
