Welcome back to the Green Industry Podcast. I'm Paul down here in beautiful sunny Florida where it is beautiful and it is sunny and I'm loving it. Well, if you own a lawn care landscaping business, you know how easy it can be to get caught up in the hustle, the spring rush, the busyness of customers wanting our services. But today we're gonna explore a vital concept that can actually enhance your productivity and well-being, and that is prioritizing a day of rest. Yesterday, my good friend Naylor, Talia Pharaoh, and Essentially rebuked me. He he he sent me a voice note and was basically like, You got you gotta you gotta do a better job of managing your time, Paul, because I'm All over the place. Thankfully, I'm got some amazing opportunities and business is booming.
And it's like this opportunity is going well. This opportunity is going well. People want me to do this. People want me to do that. It's like And Naylor essentially was like, all right, we got we gotta get you on a structure system where you need boundaries, and then anything outside that boundary, you gotta say no. And like everything you were saying to me, I was like, I know I know all this stuff. How did I get how did I get distracted from this? So I had a little reset last evening of really looking at my calendar. I I literally have my calendar in my my hands here. And I'm sticking to a new program here where I am going to stop working seven days a week. Even though I like work and it's fun and things are busting at the seams, but I'm gonna take a step back.
To have a day to rejuvenate.
Why does Paul say a dedicated day of rest can stop Spring‑Rush burnout?
Because that's beneficial for everybody that my life touches. And it's essential. So let's let's dive into this today. Number one. I have I have some notes I wrote down. And again, folks, this is my life. I'm I'm sharing with you what I'm really going through here uh behind the scenes. And I'm grateful for friends like Naylor who recognize the burnout, the fatigue. the decreased productivity and the the neglect in personal health and family time that I was experiencing and it was almost like I couldn't even recognize it. I was just called uh Naylor and I talk on the phone and um we send voice notes back and forth to each other and Naylor could kind of hear the burnout, the fatigue, the The frustration of the of what I was going through and
The solution One of the solutions is I need to get back to a day of rest or what the Bible calls a Sabbath day. This actually gets referenced in the first book of the Bible, Genesis. It says, by the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing. So on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. So it took God six days to create everything. The the sky, the stars, the moon, the sun, the oceans, the mountains, the humans, the animals, the whole nine. The the the whole the whole thing. What a what a what a what a work week, right? What did you do this week? Well, I I made I created the sun and then I create well, I don't know what order of sequence this thing went, but it created the moon and all these stars and the galaxies and then these beautiful Appalachian Mountains and then the the Rocky Mountains and then the uh um smoky mountains and the um beautiful Amazon and you know not the store but like the
you know, the place out where this nature and all all these beautiful, beautiful Mount Everest, the oceans, all of that. And then God made the people, the whole thing. And then on the seventh day he rested. Exodus twenty says, Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
