* The Importance of Downtime* As Satanists we are always talking about setting and achieving goals, practicing Satanic Lesser Magic, working on improving ourselves, etc.* We need to schedule downtime as well.* https://engageforsuccess.org/wellbeing/why-its-important-to-schedule-downtime-in-your-workday/#:~:text=Get%20strict%20with%20downtime,absorb%20information%20at%20first%20glance.* One of the key purposes of downtime is to give the mind a chance to switch off for a while.* Taking time away to reflect on the things learnt during the day gives the brain the chance to better absorb information at first glance.* https://hbr.org/2012/12/the-upside-of-downtime* Many modern workers find it hard to take downtime.
