Do you ever find yourself saying this as an English language teacher?  "I'll (insert action) when things slow down." Whether it's starting back to exercising, catching up with a friend, or taking time to read a few pages of a good book, it seems like things never actually slow down. The truth of the matter is that it rarely just happens. So you have to make it.  How?  By intentionally resting. Before reading Alex Soojung-Kim Pang's book "Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less," I had no idea what that even looked like beyond sleeping and taking a (long-overdue) vacation. (Those both count, but they aren't even the tip of the iceberg of what constitutes rest.) Maybe you'd like things to slow down more in your ELT life? A bit better work-life balance? The feeling of time to breathe throughout your work day? In this episode I share these highlights of Pang's book: what "rest" really means, how it looks, and why you should read his book too.   Show Notes: For full show notes of this episode, visit https://www.eltresourceroom.com/podcast/65-rest-english-language-teachers-book-review Sign Up!  Stay up to date with this podcast, get organizational tips that you can apply straightaway, and check out recommended resources by signing up for my monthly newsletter >> https://eltresourceroom.ck.page/a29bcd1017 Connect with Heather: Website LinkedIn Facebook
