I am currently reading Alex Soojung-Kim Pang’s book “Rest” — Why you get more done when you work less. Preaching to the choir, we all spend way too much time on social media. We fritter the time looking at kitten videos. I am a fan of Tim Ferris and have used many points in his book. In the book Rest, Mr. Pang uses such notables as Anthony Trollop and Dickens and many scientists who use, resting to enhance their work. The chapter on Stop is very interesting. Several authors would leave the project, even when it is hot, to come back to it the next day. The subconscious mind works on the project and the author or scientist can tackle the remainder of the project under full steam. Some of the examples sited in Rest and Ferris’s work is correct, the deminish of the work if you are forcing yourself to continue. Nearing burnout.

Thank you for this article.
