Ep 153 Burnout, Productivity, and Why Rest Is the Missing Skill

from What Could Go Right? · host Erik Orton + Emily Orton

What if you’re not stuck because you need to push harder—but because you don’t know how to rest? Explore how growth works more like sailing than constant effort—progress depends on rhythm, not nonstop pushing. Rest isn’t always stopping, but sometimes switching gears. Discover how sailors naturally adjust instead of forcing their way forward. You’ll also learn how to tell the difference between fake rest and the kind of recovery that actually restores clarity and energy.  If you’ve been feeling tired, stuck, or like your effort isn’t paying off, this episode will help you find a more sustainable rhythm for moving forward. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rate.
