This is an exclusive excerpt from my New York Times bestselling book, Feel-Good Productivity! Chapter 8 of the book is about recharging the proverbial batteries: how to rest in a way that energises you. I explore the ways we might think we're "resting" like doom-scrolling or binge-watching TV, and how these activities are actually draining our feel-good emotions. I also tell you how to recharge by engaging in activities that make us feel good, and the 4 ways that creative tasks unlock our energy. We'll be releasing more of these chapters week by week, so stay tuned and enjoy :) 📚CHECK OUT MY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING BOOK FEEL-GOOD PRODUCTIVITY 👉 Amazon Website 🔗 CONNECT WITH ALI 📲 Join My Telegram Community 🎥 YouTube Channel 🐦 Twitter   📸 Instagram   💻 Website 👥 Linkedin 📄SHOW NOTES & TRANSCRIPT Visit the website for the transcript and highlights from the conversation - https://aliabdaal.com/podcast/ 🎙 ABOUT THE PODCAST Deep Dive is the podcast that delves into the minds of entrepreneurs, creators and other inspiring people to uncover the philosophies, strategies and tools that help us live happier, healthier and more productive lives.
