Take A Full Day Completely Off Every Wee...

Andrew Faris
About this episode

We're taking a break from the tactical, but this episode is no less practical.

Taking a full day completely off of work every week has been one of the most important practices for keeping my relationship to work in its right place in my life while also providing the rest required to perform at work at as high of a level as possible.

In this episode, I explain how the ancient practice of Sabbath has unique power for people like me who love our jobs, and I give practical recommendations on what has made it work for me.
