Don't Do Anything To Do More
Howdy, Zack here.
In a world that glorifies the hustle, let’s talk about the power of… nothing. Yeah, you read that right.
Doing nothing might be the most productive thing you can do today.
Here’s the idea: sometimes, the best way to recharge your personal and professional batteries is to step back and embrace the art of stillness. Sleep in one day. Linger under the covers. Take an extra-long, steaming hot shower. Let the water cascade over your shoulders while savoring that steam-filled moment. Step outside and just bask in the sun, sans technology.
Give yourself the gift of not thinking about work or life’s constant pressures. Relax, refresh, and hit that reset button. It’s not about being lazy; it’s about intentional rest. You must carve out this time, or the non-stop go-go-go lifestyle will wear you down, making you less productive in the long run. Take it from me. I know. I've been burnt out and hit the wall enough times to realize there's a better way.
Those who master the art of focused rest often find themselves in a better flow each day. They’re the ones who work hard, yes, but they also know when it’s time to switch off. They understand that the relentless barrage of tasks and notifications isn’t conducive to long-term success or well-being. In a world of interruptions, it's time you interrupted your world. Do nothing.
How can you harness the power of doing nothing?
3 WAYS
- Intentional Unplugging
Commit to a day or even just a few hours where you turn everything off. No screens, no schedules, just you in the moment. - Quality Time Outside
Go for a walk, sit in the park, or just stand outside. Feel the elements against your skin and breathe in the world around you. - Indulge in Long-Form Relaxation
Watch a movie from start to finish. Dive into a book. The key is to immerse yourself in something enjoyable without the pressure of productivity.
In the silence of doing nothing, you often find the answers to everything. 😌

Howdy, Zack here. Stop it. Stop doing the things that aren't working for you. Sound too simple? Well, it's not. It's one of the hardest things to do. Yet, funny enough, once you've done it, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. You know what's not working for you. Ugh, lump in my throat. I have a few that come to mind right now. It might be eating too much, not working out, wasting time on social media, getting caught up in drama, focusing on big world issues (like politics), or pretty...
Howdy, Zack here. I love you. Yes, you. And, that love is not conditional. We all have our faults. I know when I've been at my worst, that I need others' love the most. Unless you've been living under a rock or you've intentionally disconnected (can't blame you), you've seen the effect of deliberate division — the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump. No matter your political beliefs, this sort of hatred has no place in our world. It stems from the polarization of our...
Howdy, Zack here. When will it be time? We often wait for that perfect 'when' — the moment everything falls into place. But what if 'when' is actually right now? As a dad of triplets on the brink of their senior year, time feels more precious than ever. Everything has been one-and-done for us. Before long, my wife, Gwen, and I will be seeing our 3 off to college. Thus, each moment matters more. Can you relate? When certain chapters come to an end, we tend to feel the gravity of our decisions...
