Being busy and being productive are far from being the same thing. Most people try to do too much. The desire to keep up us doing more, living less and deceiving themselves into believing we’ve made progress. True growth and success is always sustainable. Unless you adequately recover, your life is a mess. You must properly recover from the following things daily:
- Work
- Technology
- People
- Food
- Fitness
- Being awake

If you want to live an optimal life, you need to RECOVER asserts Benjamin Hardy. If you’re fine being tired, stressed, and sub-optimal, don’t worry about recovery. Continue to focus on quantity over quality. Unless you recover, you will never truly be living. You’ll always be half-living, distracted, stressed, and unhealthy.
