This is eat sleep work repeat, a weekly series of podcasts about happiness and work culture.

Hello there, it's good to have you back.

This is Bruce Dasely.

Thank you for joining us. You can find all of our

episodes at our website which is eat sleep work repeat dot fm and you can find things

we're interested in and all of our discussion on the episode on our

Twitter handle and if we search for eat sleep work repeat you'll find that today's

episode is about rest and I want you to imagine if the stories we told ourselves had been different.

If it hadn't been the hair and the tortoise, but something else.

Problem with the hair in the tortoise is the hair totally messed it up for himself

basically by being a bellend

imagine if the moral of the hair and the story was this

the hair got up

he'd sprinted half the way down there had kip, but he had a lucky escape because he just got over the line in time.

Got the job finished. Because that's a better lesson based on what we know.

So today's lesson is this. get more done by working less and

that isn't because you're lazy you're resting because a combination of rest

exercise holiday allows you to reach the maximum output that you're capable of.

You can reach your maximum output if you had rest to what you do.

The most that you can offer yourself to your employer, to yourself, to your life is by working

in bursts and taking rest.

So the hair, by having a rest, should be doing exactly the right thing based on all the evidence we've seen.
