It seems obvious to [[Rest|rest]] when we're tired, but how often do we forget *because* we're tired?
In the busy-ness of life, it's important to schedule in time to [[Rest|rest]].
[[Rest|Resting]] is even more important when we have very little energy to start with.
To increase the chances of remembering to [[Rest|rest]] when you need it, here are a few tips:
* Develop the habit of scheduling time for [[Rest|rest]] before AND after every appointment in your calendar
* In between every task on your to-do list, insert "[[Rest|rest]]" or "Take a break"
* Set reminders for yourself throughout the day
🐘 Remember, [[Rest|resting]] is important.
One more time 😁 - remember to [[rest|rest]]!
