This Working Life

Power up for work with deliberate rest


Listen Later

Are you good at resting?

Hint: effective rest does not involve blobbing in front of the tv and eating a block of chocolate. Sorry!

Dr Alex Soojung-Kim Pang was so intrigued about how to bring his best self to work, that he started doing some deep research into the area of productivity where he discovered that one of the secrets to productivity is actually “deliberate rest” .

So, in this final episode in our series on Performing in a Pandemic, we explore the concept of rest. And we share how we can all be better at it!

And, if you are looking for a book to get stuck into whilst you are taking a break from your emails - Steph Clarke, facilitator and podcaster and Lisa share their favourite books helping them navigate work right now. 

GUESTS:

Dr Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, technology forecaster and futurist

Steph Clarke, presenter of podcast Steph’s Business Bookshelf

PRODUCER: Maria Tickle
