Just an FYI, that feeling of being wired all the time and not getting enough done is a symptom for high functioning adults with ADHD :) It's just your brain working on over time so whenever I hear that I always recommend talking to a therapist to get some support and hacks so you don't completely wear yourself down to the bone. I didn't know how bad it was until someone else pointed it out to me. There are awesome hacks out there that help with these situations like you mentioned going outside etc.

It's crazy to me, how despite all the scientific evidence, we still treat rest as a reward for productivity rather than a contributing factor. Part of this is cultural. We live in a world where productivity (or rather output) is rewarded so heavily that rest feels like a waste of time. But sometimes, it's precisely because of these periods of downturn that we're able to make progress on other aspects of our life or work.
I’d widen your evidence check by one item. Your friend’s feelings were wrong about his progress; mine were right about something progress doesn’t measure. My business was healthy, growing year on year and profitable. By every measure I knew, it was working. The only thing that disagreed with the numbers was my body, and the only word anyone had for it was "it's stress". It took me a while to count that as evidence too. Listening does not mean following every impulse. It means giving what I notice a place in my decisions.
So much wisdom and grounding in this article. I really appreciate it, especially for those times when my mind is trying to force my body to "do better". Thank you Darius! - Geri

Appreciate that, Zuzanna. Good reminder to get real support instead of just pushing through.
Thank you for this!
As I reflect on my life, perspective is everything. Managing it takes practice. I enjoyed the article.
Glad it’s useful. Perspective really is a practice, not a switch you flip.

Agreed, Tamsin. Rest gets treated as the reward instead of the thing that makes the next output possible.

Well put, Luigi. Your body counting as evidence is the part most people never learn to include.
Thank you, Darius. It took me a while to learn it myself. The body usually knows first; the mind catches up later with a story.
Well put, Luigi. The story is just the mind catching up.
What do we say to ourselves in those days ?
Start with the smallest possible step, Anand. Momentum usually follows action, not the other way around.
You have absolutely no idea how much I needed this!
Thankyou !
Happy to hear that, Janvi!
