Training is what stretches you.
How we manage rest is where most people can make improvements, which will help their growth.
There are 3 levels of recovery:
- Micro – small chunks of time during the day, usually during working hours
- Mid-level – daily rest, usually during the night
- Macro – larger chunks of time over a period
Micro
5-10 minute breaks within 50 – 90 minute blocks of deep work
Light stretches
Breathing
Looking far into the distance (especially for those who sit in front of the computer)
Mid-Level
During the evening:
• Turn off all electronic devices
• Get enough sleep!
If you sleep less than 8 hours a night, you’re simply not getting enough sleep. By day 10 of sleeping less than 8 hours, your productivity level resembles someone who hasn’t slept for 24 hours. 5 or 6 hours sleep a night is not as good as 8 hours!
Macro
Holidays!
Regular annual breaks, holidays and getaways are a great way to recharge.
If you don’t pick a day to relax, your body will pick it for you.
