WW #706 Don’t Make Exhaustion the Trigger

Topic: Energy, Health & Rest →

Most of us only rest when we have to. We push until we’re empty, and then we stop. But if you wait until you’re completely depleted to rest, you’re managing the crash instead of managing the performance.

Rest for what’s coming

Managing the performance means you rest because you know you’re going to need to perform. You rest for what is coming, and you recover from what has happened. Exhaustion should never be the trigger.

Pace on purpose

This is a simple thing to do that few people ever do. It’s not about slowing down because people tell you to. It’s about pacing properly: doing what needs to happen because of what needs to happen.

Put it into practice this week

  • Look at the week ahead. Where do you need to slow down, rest, or conserve energy because of what’s coming next?
  • Put that rest on your calendar before you need it.
  • After a big push, schedule the recovery instead of waiting for the crash.
