The article discusses the importance of taking regular breaks and resetting, even for ambitious and productive individuals. The author argues that contrary to the common belief that laziness and ambition are incompatible, creativity and productivity are often more compatible with periods of rest and idleness.
The author cites the example of writer Tom Kreider, who considers himself the "laziest ambitious person" he knows. When the author starts to feel themselves slowing down, they don't speed up, but instead stop and take a break to reset. The author suggests that this is a necessary practice, as human beings sometimes need to "turn off, wait a while, then reboot" to address undiagnosed issues.
The article also explores the historical concept of recovery, where certain individuals, such as women after childbirth or the upper-class after illnesses, were expected to take time off to recover. However, the author notes that this idea of recovery is being eroded by modern life, where people are expected to work until the last minute and return to work quickly after major life events.
The author concludes that periodic breaks and resetting are essential for maintaining productivity, creativity, and mental well-being, even for ambitious individuals.
