In this episode, Jim breaks down something we’ve all lost touch with: leisure—not vacations, not performative “self-care,” but the daily, essential ability to check out and truly recharge.
From the illusion of optimized rest to the guilt we carry when we’re not being productive, Jim explores why doing nothing might be the most human thing you can do today. If you're burnt out, stuck in hustle mode, or just can't the last time you lost track of time, this one’s for you.
What You’ll Learn:
Why most of us have forgotten how to relax—and how that’s hurting us
The difference between looking relaxed and actually being at rest
How the wellness industry has co-opted leisure and turned it into another job
Real-life examples of “micro-leisure” that require no agenda, no outcomes, and no tracking
Why true leisure is the antidote to burnout, decision fatigue, and societal edge
The radical idea that doing nothing… might be exactly what you need
Quotable Moments:
“Rest has become another job. Even our candles come with to-do lists.”
“We took hustle culture, put yoga pants on it, and called it self-care.”
“If your rest has a reason, it’s not rest. It’s just disguised ambition.”
“Leisure isn’t lazy. It’s human.”
Challenge to Listeners:
Find 15 minutes today. No phone. No goals. No productivity hack. Just exist. And if that feels weird… that’s probably a sign you need it.
