CONQUERING THE REST DEFICIT

A constant theme in my conversations with friends, colleagues, and clients has been exhaustion. We know how powerful rest can be and that the ROI on productivity is more than a 1:1 ration (it's more like 1:1 million). Here are two resources to help you think about your own relationship with rest along with suggestions to conquer a deficit.

  • This blog post from Greater Good (UC Berkeley) shares how to get rest at work along with the rationale for how rest improves productivity.

  • Sleep is only one type of rest - this TedX talk from Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith explains the other six types.

THE PRACTICE

Reflect on this question -

  • What do you notice about your own rest deficit?

Make a commitment - 

  • What will you do in the next week to reduce this deficit?
