We all know we need to take breaks to allow ourselves to rest and recover, both physically and cognitively. But it can be especially hard to do when we feel like we need to keep pushing. So today, we're tackling that problem: What would it look like to design our days around sustainable rhythms rather than maximum output—and how do we do this while still meeting real-world demands? We talk about how to deal with the anxiety and guilty that can come with taking a break (and feeling behind); give you effective strategies to take both micro/daily breaks and macro/seasonal breaks; and talk about ways to think about building rest and recovery into a long-term path to sustainable success. **ANNOUNCEMENT**: Next week, the podcast will be relaunched as "Excellence, Actually."
