Unlocking the Power of Downtime: Embracing Fun and Recharging for Optimal Learning

I went to this awesome speaker event today, all about learning. The speaker was absolutely amazing! They dropped some serious knowledge bombs on us. One thing that really hit home for me was the importance of prioritizing and using the 80/20 rule to make the most of our time. But you know what else they said? They said we gotta take breaks! Like, real downtime where we do things we love and just chill out.

I've heard that advice before, but for some reason, it never really clicked in my brain. I guess I always thought, "Hey, I love coding, so why take a break from it?" But today, it finally made sense. The speaker talked about how our brains need different kinds of stimulation to work at their best. So this long weekend, I'm gonna take their advice and step away from coding for a bit. I'm gonna do something with different fun than coding.

It's like giving my brain a vacation, you know? And I'm really looking forward to it!
