Nothing to Show for It
What did you do today? If the honest answer is "not much," you're not alone. The list hasn't moved since 8 a.m. Meanwhile someone online has journaled, cold-plunged and started a small business before breakfast. Good for them. This week is about the work that never makes the list: getting out of bed on the hard days, keeping your voice steady, not sending the text. Why we erase it, and why it might be the most important thing you did all day. I'm Chad Lawson and let's Calm it Down in 3...2...1.

Letting Go of the Guilt of Doing Nothing
Have you ever finally sat down, only to immediately think of six things you should probably be doing instead? The laundry suddenly looks urgent. That email feels strangely important. Even the dishwasher starts making a compelling argument. For a lot of us, rest isn’t really rest. It’s something we allow ourselves once everything else is finished. Which, of course, means almost never. This week, we’re looking at why doing nothing can make us so uncomfortable, where that little voice saying “you should be productive” comes from, and what might happen if rest didn’t need to be earned at all. I’m Chad Lawson and let’s Calm it Down in 3...2...1.
