The opportunity of tired.

Tired is a signal from the body, just like hunger or thirst. It gives us an opportunity to listen and allow ourselves to rest.

Pushing through tired and staying on the desk might seem productive to you in the moment. After all, it's a badge to carry in the hustle culture.

But, even though we might feel efficient, we are hardly effective when we do this. Making decisions from diminished capacity and even doing tasks and chores when depleted create more hassles rather than less.

We binge eat when we don't listen to the signal of hunger on time. We do more damage when we ignore the signal of tired.
