Many of us funnel all our rest needs into already jam-packed weekends and holidays. But don’t fall into the trap of thinking weekends and holidays are restful. Often they are not. Sometimes they are even more draining than the week we just escaped. Weekends, Sundays, holidays, vacations—all have been modernized, and are only restful if forced to behave. When emotionally exhausted, the first thing I do is find quiet, solitude, and a chance to do nothing. I don’t feel guilty, for fallow times are just as important as productive times. I cycle quickly, and my energy will return shortly. All I need is quiet and some time.
