Yes, absolutely.

I think many people think that the more hours they put it, the better it is, but the truth is, like many of us have found out the hard way, is that some of the most valuable moments happen when you're 'looking the other way'.

Personally, I like to go out cycling or running once a day (where so many ideas and solutions just pop into your head) and as a long time athlete, I know that it's on those rest days in between training when you get stronger.

So I see work the same way. Train hard, work hard, but those recovery days is just as important.

Being productive requires a healthy balanced mind + body.
