You’ll notice this weekend I didn’t record any podcasts.

And you’ll notice I didn’t do my daily emails.

Both of these things were deliberate, to create some space in my life.

The concept of space in weightlifting (rest)

The concept of space in eating healthy (refeed days/cheat days)

The body and mind cannot tolerate being under constant pressure forever

Eventually, the constant pressure grinds down the ability of your brain to function properly

The brain needs space for creativity

If it is occupied with doing, it cannot also create at the same time

Real creativity only happens when the mind is empty
