What other Time Off fans are saying:

Time Off is Essential

by Kevin Kelly, Co-founder of Wired Magazine

"You can’t maintain a great work ethic without having a great “rest ethic”. You have to take time off, vacation, go on sabbatical, pause, rest, sleep, slack, play, and goof off in order to be and do your best. Time off is not only essential to a good life, it is something you can get better at."

Rest Ethic

Josh Zimmerman, Learning & Development | GitLab

"I really enjoyed the practical steps in this course for building out my rest ethic. The use of analogies was helpful in understanding the Time Off concepts more too (Inhale vs. Exhale, etc). I felt connected to the speakers in a personable/empathetic way."

Time Off Essentials

Samantha Lee, Learning and Development | GitLab

"I really enjoyed the course. It has helped me analyze what I can subtract from my day-to-day, and what I can now add that brings greater value and purpose."

Design Your Rest Ethic

Time off is a skill, not an afterthought. Refine your ability to recover, reflect, improve, and innovate on what matters most to your bottom line.
