There’s a step in the creative process that’s easy to overlook. It’s not outlining, drafting, designing, or editing. It’s rest.

Stepping away from your work, giving it space, and coming back with fresh eyes is a must. It’s in the rest period that ideas settle and new perspectives emerge. Yet, so many of us push through without taking that crucial pause.

The forgotten step isn’t glamorous, but it’s vital. A rested mind is a clear mind, and clear minds create better work. Don’t skip the rest.
