NOTE

Embrace Rest to Enhance Performance

Incorporating naps can significantly enhance mental performance, mirroring practices in cultures with high longevity. When taking breaks, it's essential to recognize that the mind functions differently than muscles; a mental break should aim for relaxation rather than continuation of work thoughts.

Recognizing the difference between feeling 'tired and wired' versus 'tired and not wired' helps in choosing the right approach to breaks for improved productivity.
