Overwhelmed with work? Have too much on your to-do list? Stressing about finances or something else entirely? Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is to switch off the goal-setting-obsessed part of your brain and do nothing at all. Here’s a collection of quotes about relaxation to help you do just that.

Blake Miner

I'm a social scientist and entrepreneur fascinated by the psychology of personal freedom and location-independent business. Since selling a portion of my small language learning startup in 2018, I've spent time across 4 continents consulting with SaaS and web3 companies and exploring different cultures.

If you’re like me, you find it hard to forget your to-do list and properly disconnect.

I need to consciously plan time away from work. But when I do, I’m always grateful I made it happen.

My mind slows down, connections start to happen, and I feel centered again. When I do go back to work, I come at it with a new perspective and added motivation.

I’ve compiled a list of quotes about relaxation that can help act as reminders of the importance of downtime. No tired clichés here, just insights from some of the world’s greatest minds.

Take a deep breath, then explore.
