Take a Rest to Increase Your Productivity


Work, work, work.  In order to get the most output, we need to commit to working 60, 70, 80 hours a week, right?  At least that's the perception... Or perhaps, misperception!

Despite the fact that most successful people will tell you it takes more than four hours a week to truly make progress in your goals, they often will leave out the part about rest and relaxation.  Interestingly enough, there are countless scientific studies that prove you are more alert, better prepared, and overall more productive, when you take time to rest...

Thus, the amount of rest you give yourself must not only be factored into your overall schedule, it must be valued as a critical part of your life success strategy.

A self-made sage takes personal accountability for creating a life they can be proud of... The life of their dreams... and this comes through achieving the goals you set.  Every goal will take a prescribed amount of time to achieve, just as every person will take a different amount of time to work on it. Therefore, time does not become the ultimate measurement but accomplishing it does.

What if you could accomplish things to the  highest level possible?

What if you could feel energetic and alert when working on your goals?

What if the time spend is done calmly and happily?

This is all possible when you feel rested.  When you rest, you feel relaxed.  Your body rejuvenates itself and you feel ready to take on the world.

Take action now:
Stop watching the clock and counting the hours... the hours you work, the hours you sleep... Instead, listen to your body more.  You want to ensure that the time you spend working is as productive as possible, so if you feel tired, it is time to take a break.  If you feel sleepy, it is time to go to bed.  When your eyes open and you feel awake, it is time to get up.  
Make sure you are as rested as possible to get the most output in life.


Make no mistake, valuing the importance of rest is not an excuse to lay in bed all day and watch the world pass you by.  Rather it is an effective life strategy to accomplishing more and progressing towards the life you always dreamed of.
