Unwork

I find this one really challenging:

If you work hard… rest hard.

Working hard is easy. I’ve always given my all to projects I take on and products I build.

Resting is hard. For me. As when I’m not actively building, I only want to sharpen or stack skills to build better.

Stepping away and doing something totally different? Super-hard.

And yet it’s where some of my best ideas come from.

So if you struggle with the same, consider this:

One of the best things you can do for your work, is to not work, and let that negative space charge you with fresh new perspectives you’d never find otherwise.

Remember to ‘unwork’.
