The Art of Taking Breaks: Why Rest Makes Your Business Stronger

Rest might be the most important strategy to implement in your business this year. As creative entrepreneurs, we didn't start businesses to recreate the exhausting patterns of traditional jobs - we wanted freedom. Yet somehow, we often fall back into working long hours and forgetting to rest.

Taking breaks doesn't mean you're lazy. After experiencing burnout that left me bedridden for six months, I learned that breaks actually give more than they subtract. The recovery took years, teaching me that doing things slowly and intentionally prevents much bigger setbacks later.
