The practice of intentionally abandoning any attempts to be productive for a period of time, rather than feeling guilty for not being productive.
We’re told to value discipline, self-control, grit and especially if we’re high-achievers, it’s easy to see rest as laziness. If you are in a slump or really don’t want to do a particular task, you can just “reit the rest of the day off”
Give yourself full permission to take a break on days when you know you won’t be productive. Sometimes, the most energizing thing you can do is to just “write off” the day and do nothing at all. By doing less today, you can do more of what matters to you tomorrow. :-)
