Productivity becomes an idol. Explore the need for rest, not fake rest, in a world obsessed with productivity. Leaders face huge challenges during transitions, often getting stuck because of egos, fears, and past investments.
Rest isn't just a luxury; it's crucial for making good decisions and leading effectively. When we're tired, we look for hits to feel better. Leadership wins and public acclaim become addictive.
Be aware of excuses not to rest and becoming resentful, because there’s always another project. Find practical ways to rest: 24-hour floating Sabbaths, spending time outdoors, reading, or hanging out without an agenda.
