How Doing Nothing Helps You Get More Done

The lack of rest in society is no trivial matter. We often feel as though we're too busy to rest and can only do so when we've achieved certain things, or finished a task in hand.

But rest is something that we all need to prioritise. So says my guest on this week's podcast, author, broadcaster and psychology lecturer Claudia Hammond who argues that being busy isn’t a badge of honour, and taking time out is definitely not lazy - in fact it can actually boost our performance.

We examine the science behind our struggles to relax and Claudia shares some brilliant insights on our attitudes to downtime, the top 10 activities most likely to help us switch off, and what the benefits are for our health and wellbeing, as well as our productivity.

If you need a reminder of why rest is so important – and permission to do it, without feeling guilty, this is it! I’m really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this one and how you’re going to rest whilst listening to it. Let me know below!
