Schedule time for leisure and relaxation to recharge from "summary" of Make time by Jake Knapp,John Zeratsky (Product designer)
One of the key principles for making time is to ensure that you schedule time for leisure and relaxation. This may seem counterintuitive, especially when you're busy and feeling overwhelmed with tasks, but it's actually essential for maintaining your energy and focus. When you're constantly running on empty, you're not able to perform at your best. By carving out time for leisure and relaxation, you're giving yourself the opportunity to recharge and reset. Leisure and relaxation look different for everyone. For some, it might mean taking a walk in nature, reading a book, or indulging in a hobby. For others, it could be practicing mindfulness, meditating, or simply doing nothing at all. Whatever it is that helps you unwind and recharge, make sure to prioritize it in your schedule. Treat it as non-negotiable time that cannot be compromised. When you schedule time for leisure and relaxation, you're essentially giving yourself permission to take a break. This break is not a waste of time; it's an investment in your well-being. Just like you need to charge your phone to keep it running, you need to recharge yourself in order to function effectively. By making time for leisure and relaxation, you're ensuring that you have the energy and mental clarity to tackle your tasks with renewed focus and enthusiasm. It's important to recognize that leisure and relaxation are not optional extras; they are integral components of a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Neglecting these aspects can lead to burnout, decreased productivity, and poor overall well-being. By consciously incorporating leisure and relaxation into your schedule, you're taking proactive steps to safeguard your mental and physical health.- It can be challenging to prioritize downtime. However, by recognizing the value of leisure and relaxation in maintaining your overall well-being, you can start to shift your mindset and make room for these essential activities. Remember, taking care of yourself is not selfish; it's a necessary part of being able to show up fully in all areas of your life. So go ahead and schedule that time for leisure and relaxation – your future self will thank you for it.
