In this week’s episode, Sarah is joined by author and expert Robert Poynton to explore the often-overlooked skill of pausing. Drawing from his book Do Pause, Robert shares insights on how introducing intentional pauses into your day can improve performance, sustain creativity, and help you thrive in your squiggly career.
Together, they discuss:
The barriers that stop us from pausing
How to think of pausing as a “plastic concept” that adapts to your needs
Practical tips to fit pauses into the spaces between work and life.
This episode will inspire you to rethink your relationship with time and consider how small pauses could make a big impact.
