Day of Rest As A Modern Necessity

TGIF

TGIF – Thank God It’s Friday – is a popular slogan

We get to the end of the week and can’t wait for the weekend

But did you ever end the week wondering where all your time went?

If you can’t answer, you’re not alone. Most of us are caught in autopilot—reacting to notifications, emails, and endless tasks.

Weekends used to look and feel very different to the work week

But between being always connected through our mobile devices, and work from home, they somehow blur together

We don’t just lose hours—we lose agency, clarity, and purpose.

If that’s how you feel on a Friday, then maybe it’s time to take it back.

Productivity culture runs like a hamster wheel. It just keeps running, at the same pace, going nowhere.

Do you manage your time like a hamster wheel or do you put a training program in place and find time to rest?

There's a scene in "Mad Men" where Don Draper is asked what he thought about Hawaii, and instead of talking about beaches, he talks about becoming someone else. Not a version of himself with better tan lines and a Mai Tai. A different person. One who, for a few days, didn't miss

I recently took one of the best holidays of my life, and I never left the resort.

Turns out the destination is beside the point. What you're actually chasing is a change of pace, and if your holiday runs on the same schedule as your working week, you've just moved the treadmill

We have strategies for our careers, our finance, our help.

Pleased to announce a program to help answer an important question: “what’s your strategy for your time?”
