What is “Stress and Recovery”?

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” — T. S. Eliot, poet and playwright

Key Points:

  • It’s helpful to learn what your breaking point is: know how much you’re capable of doing before burning out.
  • Paying attention to Stress and Recovery is the how you make sure that you don’t have more on your plate that you can’t handle.
  • It’s impossible to know how much you can do until you push your limits. The knowledge you’ll gain will help make better decisions about which projects say yes and no to.
  • That being said, remember this: you’re not a machine. you can’t operate always at 100%.
  • Dedicating time to relax and recovery will make your life more enjoyable and productive.

Questions for Consideration:

  • Have you ever reached your breaking point? What did you learn?
  • Are you setting aside enough time for rest and recovery?
  • How can you ensure your expectations concerning your available productive energy, focus, and effort are realistic and sustainable?
