How to Stop

It can be tempting to just keep doing and driving until done. Don’t be seduced. This done isn’t the real Done.

To stop doing The Thing, disconnect from it. This is a supremely important point, please don’t underestimate it!

Ever have a bright idea about how to solve a problem you were working on earlier that day at the oh-so-convenient hour of 3 a.m.? Or go for a walk and come back with renewed energy and a fresh perspective? Gimme some of that sugar! YES!

Not Doing is an important part of Doing, and it often gets overlooked. What if you’re fine, but it’s your Thing that needs a rest?

Shift your mental and physical state and go do something completely different. You and your Thing will come back to each other differently and better for having had some private me-time.
