Doing things fuels momentum.
It’s not just about checking boxes, it’s about creating a rhythm that propels you forward. Action generates energy, a sense of progress that builds on itself. The irony is, the more you do, the more energy you have to do even more.
Wasting time, on the other hand, drains you. It’s not the lack of activity, it’s the lack of purpose. Rest isn’t the opposite of doing; it’s part of the cycle. True rest comes from a balance: doing enough meaningful work to feel alive and taking just enough pause to recharge for what’s next.
Most of us don’t need more rest. We need more purpose.
