Few days before new job. How to rest?
Yesterday I've finished a contract at old job (IT). I'm starting a new one in 5 days.
Any advices how to rest effectively? Passively (in bed/meditation/doing nothing), actively (hiking, running, biking), mix of both? Reduce computers/phones usage for the 5 days?
I have kids at home so I can't run away for the time.
Sadly I don't know how to rest and I'm a workaholic. I want to work on this too but to be honest I don't know how to start.
A good rest starts by not stressing too much about how to rest. ;)
Shed as many responsibilities as possible. Make the rest as high-quality as you can, while you have the opportunity. Hard to suggest more without further family context.
Sepnd time with your family to do things which you won't be able to do later on. Compared to the future you will look back on this time as rest.
I suggest you to read a good book, maybe one that talk about something you personally like
Is there not an app for that?
Why don't you build one?
And then pitch 10 business angels! ;-)
