While managing your calendar is an important productivity tool, maintaining your energy so you have enthusiasm to do what is on your calendar is equally important.  In this episode, I talk about the Power of Rest and the role it plays in your happiness and in your productivity.

When your focus is on tasks you can be super productive.  But when your focus is on people you can create an impact.  And by making an impact you also grow, expand, and become more successful.  Where is your focus, and is it in the right place?

Most of us put a lot of energy & attention into what we have to do during the day, and not nearly enough on what we want to do with the rest of our time!  And, while sometimes we just need a little Netflix, it is not what we need all of the time. How can you better spend your "off" time, so you feel more rested & rejuvenated?  After all, we are supposed to work to live and not the other way around...

While there are many thing about being in quarantine that are challenging & difficult, there are some things about this time that are quite amazing - including the lack of stimulation from the outside world.  Right now we have a certain distance from society and all of it's messaging, and most of us have more quiet in our lives than we are used to having.  In times of quiet, my inner voice becomes clearer and louder and that leads me to greater joy and happiness.  Can you hear yours better now too?

When life is going really, really well it can feel amazing, easy, fantastic.  And, awesome!  But growth often comes out of challenging times and feelings of frustration, anxiety, anger, and the feeling that everything is not ok.  Ask yourself when things aren't going well - What am I going to do about it?
