Prioritize Sleep as if your
life
depended on it (it does)
Current culture has it all wrong
about sleep. It shouldn’t give
bragging rights to do an all-nighter
or to be able to survive on 4 hours
sleep per night. All people make
better decisions when they have
received a sufficient amount of rest
which means you need less time to
do the same job. New research has
revealed that the brain needs sleep
to clear toxins, so it’s a physical
necessity for a well-functioning
mind. So go sleep and get your
required eight to ten hours of sleep,
even if you have stuff that needs
finishing. It’s an investment in
quality rather than quantity.
‘Me’ time
People that are partly or wholly
introverted need to pull back from
human interaction to restore energy.
It takes emotional strength to step
outside of the program and tell
people you need a break during
a family weekend, a conference
or a day filled with meetings, but
for people who need quiet, this
is required to restore energy and
bring you back to be a happy and
active person. So don’t be afraid to
take time out, even if the rest of the
group doesn’t.
