Creative rest

Creative rest isn't sleep or vacation; it's the permission to stop producing and let your mind wander without guilt—daydreaming, staring, wandering, playing with ideas that go nowhere. Your brain actually needs this unfocused time to integrate what it's learned and surprise itself with new connections, which is why your best ideas come in the shower, not at your desk.
