Increased productivity through rest

Resting on park bench

I heard an entrepreneur on Minnesota Public Radio share how he often has long work days, but he always takes Sunday off, as a time to recuperate and share with his family. Paradoxically he finds this is also his most productive work time.  Earlier in the week he may find a seemingly insurmountable problem, but then when he's at rest, the solution will come to him.

This is a great reminder for us all to take time to rest and unplug from the business of our daily lives, especially when we're under the most pressure.
