• Rest Is the New Power Move: How to Master Productivity & Prevent Burnout

  Jeannette explores the transformative power of rest as a crucial strategy for entrepreneurs and business leaders. She challenges the hustle culture that often glorifies overworking and neglecting self-care, sharing her personal experience with burnout and hospitalisation. Jeanette explains why rest is not a luxury but a competitive advantage that enhances clarity, creativity, and decision-making Jeannette explains why: Rest should be viewed as a conscious strategy rather than a reward for hard work. Rest is essential for maintaining mental clarity and overall well-being, similar to how businesses have strategic plans for growth. Prioritising rest leads to sharper thinking, better decision-making, and increased creativity. Well-rested individuals are more capable of spotting opportunities and managing crises calmly, which ultimately benefits their businesses. Common myths include the belief that resting makes one lazy or that it takes time away from work Implementing micro breaks, using techniques like the Pomodoro Technique for focused work, and scheduling digital detox times can help integrate rest into a busy schedule without sacrificing productivity.
