Rest isn’t a reward you get once the to-do list is empty. It’s not lazy, it’s not falling behind, and it’s not something...

Rest isn’t a reward you get once the to-do list is empty. It’s not lazy, it’s not falling behind, and it’s not something you have to justify or earn with enough hours of “productivity” first!

If you live with limited energy or fluctuating capacity, rest is part of how your body and your work function. Skip it and you don’t get more done, you crash harder and end up losing more time than you saved.

I stopped treating rest as a prize a long time ago after a long stint in a toxic workplace. Now it’s just part of how I plan my week, same as anything else that keeps the business running.

Visual description
A collage style graphic with a red and pink abstract background and an orange strip of tape in the corner. A white polaroid frame holds a photo of Emm, a cis white woman with long blonde hair, standing in front of a green living wall wearing red heart shaped sunglasses. Below the photo, a signature reads Emm x. The text overlay reads: You don’t earn rest, you need it!

Have we met? I’m Emm McAndrew, aka The Slow Businesswoman, and I help women with energy-limiting conditions build a business that works around their health, not against it. More at theslowbusinesswoman.com

Here’s a handful of the reasons why more sleep / drinking more water / getting out more / eating better / etc. didn’t “fix” me

Description of the visual:
Several clips of me, the slow businesswoman, in different locations including looking at the camera wearing a large sun hat and red heart-shaped glasses.
Bold text reads ‘’I wonder why I always feel like crap, maybe something’s wrong with me...” in time with the beat, four short lines of text appear that read “M.E., AuDHD, CPTSD” and “& the rest.”

Have we met? I’m Emm, The Slow Business Woman and I teach women with limited energy how to set up and run their own business so it doesn’t break them. Women with chronic illness, disability, and neurodivergence. Oh, and I have all three ♥️✨
