Episode notes
Vacations For Relationship And Rest
- Sam vacations mainly to accommodate his girlfriend and to rest rather than to escape work.
- He enjoys his work so much that vacation feels unnecessary unless for relationship or rest reasons.
Completely Disconnect On Vacation
- On vacation, switch fully off and avoid working to make it a true break.
- Working remotely on vacation only creates a more distracting work environment instead of rest.
Use Rituals To Enter And Exit Work
- Build consistent morning and evening rituals to signal the brain when to start and stop work.
- Use exercise, cold showers, meditation, and a wind-down hour to prepare for deep work and restful sleep.
