Rest Is Productive

Rest … what a novel concept.

This message, late in the working week, may have been flippant yet we know represents a familiar sentiment.

This same message also mentioned the nemesis of a never-ending to-do list, and the shoulds and should-nots of being productive not procrastinating.

All the trademarks of work and life today.

Focus.

Be productive.

Get sh…tuff done.

Rest, of course, is not a novel concept.

Rest is a necessity.

Rest is productive.

And, sometimes,

the thing we should be focusing on;

the thing we should have at the top of our to-do list; and

the thing that will be the most productive use of our time

is rest.

It’s time to remove rest from the novel concept list, don’t you agree?!
