Italian polymath Leonardo Da Vinci was incredibly accomplished and productive during his lifetime. However, he placed great value on rest and recovery:
It is a very good plan every now and then to go away and have a little relaxation. When you come back to the work your judgment will be surer, since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose the power of judgment.
Work hard when it’s time to work. But when it’s time to rest, disconnect completely.
Roger Cunard
