Episode 182 The power of doing nothing

Your Time With James Sweetman

What if the key to greater clarity, creativity, and leadership isn’t doing more, but doing less? In our fast-paced world, we glorify the grind, chasing the next goal and filling every moment with activity or distraction. But what if the real breakthroughs happen in the gaps, in the space where we allow new ideas to emerge? This week, I look at why stillness isn’t laziness, but a strategy for better decision-making and deeper insights. I take you through the different types of rest we all need but rarely prioritise and I invite you to participate in a short experiment that I call “embracing the pause”. If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down, this episode is for you.
