Summary

Take a sabbath. Take a day of rest, where you refresh. This doesn't necessarily mean you do nothing, but you rest and recharge.

Take a Sabbath! Rest, Recharge, Refresh

If you are like Matt, someone who works long days, enjoys work, and can tend to overdo work and grind yourself away, you need to take a day off.

This does not necessarily mean you do nothing. If your job involves mental work, you might do some manual labor and turn off your phone. If you read, you might read fiction.

If your job primarily involves manual labor, you might enjoy boardgames, intellectual reading, or other more intellectual pursuits.

Similar to how a change in training can help you enjoy training more, a major change to activity can help you recharge.

Get outside. Go for a hike. Spend time with family or friends. Slow down. Turn off your phone. Pursue the truly important, not urgent.

Take a sabbath.

0:45.0	And so this will be very short.
0:47.0	The last thing I want this podcast to be or even this business to be

1:23.7	which I actually really enjoy because I'm a CEO of a tech company and don't get to do that.
1:28.0	And so I find enjoying that. And so I hope the word Sabbath doesn't throw anybody off. I know that that comes you know from a deeply rooted Old
