A Brilliant Gamble

Episode 30: Naps, Breaks and Reflection

Episode Summary

Hi! Big news - I took a nap! And the world didn't crumble. In this week's episode I muse on napping, the science behind taking breaks and the real purpose of reflection. We are so hard wired to work long hours, to fear looking or feeling lazy, to be actively in production that we ignore all the signs that human beings aren't built to operate that way. These thoughts are taking me to some radical conclusions...but more of that in future episodes. For now I'm focusing on breaking the cycle and finding a way to get just as much accomplished without doing so much.
