Free time is a “call option” on future interesting opportunities
When you have free time, you have the headspace and bandwidth to pursue new ideas. Free time increases your serendipity surface area.
The idea that free time is bad is one of the greatest lies you’ve been told.

All growth requires balance
Ideas are executed during periods of work but formed during periods of free time & boredom.
- Muscle is trained during exercise, but grown during recovery.
- Minds are engaged with togetherness but fortified with solitude.
Find balance—find growth.

The value of rest
Many of history’s highest achievers were aware of the value of rest:
John D. Rockefeller would take regular breaks from his notoriously demanding schedule to mill about in his garden—it was his personal escape.
Takeaway: When you sprint, sprint hard. When you rest, rest hard.

Embrace the role of free time and rest in your life.
It’s an asset, not a liability. It’s not about a “break” from productivity.
It’s an integral part of your productivity.

A major key to avoiding burnout
We have to reframe rest and recovery as a core part of our daily systems, not a reward for our efforts.
We don’t need to “earn” our recovery—it should be a central part of our ritual that allows us to thrive.

One idea to try
- Take 15-minute tech-free walks throughout the day to break up blocks of focused work.
- The walk will provide a reset and let your thoughts and ideas mingle.
- The walk is just as much a contributor to the output as the focused work itself.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
