MEMORABLE QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE:

[00:44:04] "Rest ethic is something that we need to work on and we need to cultivate knowing when it's time to make that step away and then trusting in the process that will follow and not seeing it as a waste of time. That's probably the most difficult thing about a time off, but also the most valuable once you managed to really follow through."

[00:39:10] "…the brain doesn't tire like an arm and a leg all at once is variety. And I think that's really true there."

[00:18:28] "...free level hierarchy where at the very bottom is rest, rest, basically always ask the question. Rest for what? And the answer is usually, well, rest to do more work. And that's OK. Sometimes you just need to rest to then be refreshed for whatever else you want to do..."
