For the past two weeks, my mind and body both told me I needed a break but I did not listen at first and my reward was 10 days of underwhelming performance. I think it is a common belief that if we are not working we are not making progress. We forget that rest and recovery is an important part of progress in all endeavors. It is easy to understand how this is true with exercise and other physical activities but I find it counter-intuitive when it comes to other activities like creating artwork. Now I have to figure out how to transition back from my 5 day vacation I just took. I’m sure it will be easier next time when its a planned vacation versus a mental shutdown

Moving forward I am now scheduling vacation days as if I worked in corporate America and plan to take a 1-week vacation every quarter. 4 weeks of vacation and holidays! I think my job has a great benefits package. 

Cheers
