“I'm super driven and I would just like work work work all day and the first time when I realized oh wait I could take a nap now yes or I could go get in the hot tub for 15 minutes before my next call oh my gosh radical and yet I cherish those moments”

Give yourself permission for the mid-day nap

A driven founder treats a mid-day nap or 15-minute hot tub break as transgressive — and that's the point. The permission to interrupt the workday for a body-based reset IS the intervention. Schedule one micro-recovery between deep-work blocks instead of saving all rest for nighttime.
