Recover Like an Athlete: NEW Podcast Episode

Guess what part of your body burns 20-25% of your energy?

It's your brain.

That's part of why the fatigue you feel after a day of sitting, reading, writing, and thinking is so very real.

For so many of us lawyers, each day you run a mental marathon without breaks. That fatigue is your body telling you the story of what you did before your brain does (it's busy trying to continue to function in a state of strain and reduced focus...it'll get back to you).

But what if there was a better way for a high-performance knowledge worker to work--with greater productivity and periods of rejuvenation throughout the day? What if you approached your workday--and the necessity of recovery for optimal performance--the way an elite athlete does?

That's the topic of this week's new episode of The Legal Athlete Podcast: Recover Like an Athlete (now streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube).

This post-election week, recovery is on many people's minds. And also for me, it's developing strategies and systems to be as impactful as possible in pursuing my work and passions, while protecting, supporting, and enjoying all the precious parts of my life and community. So I am keenly interested in executing, and sharing with all of you, the most effective and sustainable strategies for doing this for the long haul.

So, in this episode we'll dive into how to do that through the vital, yet often ignored, topic of recovery in high-performance knowledge professions. I'll share some physiological science and neuroscience showing how it's critically important for lawyers and other professionals who want to optimize and maintain their high-performance long term to incorporate recovery strategies into their daily routines.

Tune in to discover how not to be an a*!hole by prioritizing your recovery like an elite athlete does, and how to maximize your own performance through active rest, strategic breaks, and sleep optimization!
