One of the things I was just telling the BPN team here earlier this week, they said, when you leave work after the day, when you get home, you have to find a way to turn it off.

I don't want or expect you to be working 24-7.

I don't want or expect your mind to be thinking about BPN 24-7.

Because what ends up happening is that you don't actually rest and recover.

And if you don't rest and recover, when you show up to work the next day, the hours and the work that you spend here are not productive.

They're not effective.

It's not your best work.

It's not helping us.

And I've seen it happen to so many people over the years where they don't find ways to turn it off.

And they feel they have to keep it on all the time.

And they naturally start hating their work and become resentful towards the workplace and the people and the organization and the system because they didn't instill a healthy rhythm of rest and digest and recovery.

That comes down to the margin.

We have to create boundaries and in place a margin, which is the space between our load and our limits.

And what I think is a really important topic to touch on when we talk about the hurried and the rushed.

I think many of us can relate to what it feels like to be living in a hurried and rushed season of life.

And it feels like you're missing out on a lot of moments.

Like you're there, but you're not there.

Sometimes you're in zombie mode because it's from one thing to the next, the next, the next.

And there's no margin.

There's no margin between the load and the limit.
