How Not to Burn Out Chasing Money and Actually
Learn to Rest
Yo, bro, let’s talk about how not to collapse in the endless race for cash and actually learn to rest instead of just pretending to. We all want stacks of USDT, a cool car in the garage, and freedom, but if you grind non-stop, your brain will eventually burn out.
Even big companies are starting to realize that a tired employee is a bad employee. So if you want to stay productive, you need to recharge properly.
How to Rest When a Vacation Feels Like a Dream?
Not everyone can just take off to the beach or go on a week-long vacation. But that doesn’t mean you should ignore rest completely. Even small breaks can bring you back to life.
1️⃣ Take a Break Every Hour
Seriously, your brain isn’t made of steel. Just stand up, stretch, look out the window, or step away from the screen for a few minutes every hour. Even zoning out for 5–10 minutes without thinking about work helps.
2️⃣ Gaming → Instant Reset
Who said gaming is only for nerds? A couple of quick rounds in CS or something chill can actually help your brain reset. And with cloud gaming, you don’t even need a powerful PC—perfect if your work laptop is weaker than a calculator. But don’t overdo it.
3️⃣ Music → Catch the Vibes
Music is a great tool for both chilling and working. Need an energy boost? Turn on a hype playlist. Need to focus? Go for something calm. You can even make different playlists for different moods.
4️⃣ Socializing → Sometimes the Best Antidepressant
We’re humans, not robots. A quick call with a friend, a short chat with a colleague, or just sharing memes—maybe even some VR socializing in something like VR Chat—can help your brain relax. This is especially important for remote workers.
5️⃣ Meditation for the Brain
Meditation is a real way to calm your nerves. Just 5 minutes of deep breathing, or even closing your eyes in silence, and you’ll feel less stressed.
6️⃣ Go Outside – Touch Some Grass
Just stepping outside for 10–15 minutes, taking a short walk, or sitting in a park can do wonders. It’s not just "walking around"—it’s a way to reset and stop obsessing over work.
7️⃣ Move! Light Weight Baby.
You don’t need to spend two hours at the gym and take mirror selfies. Just a quick run, some stretching, or kicking a ball around with friends helps not only keep your body in shape but also releases stress.
Beware of Fake Rest 👎
Some things feel like rest but actually make you even more exhausted.
- Alcohol – It seems relaxing at first, but then your sleep is messed up, you lose hydration, and wake up feeling like a dried-out sponge.
- Doomscrolling social media – Scrolling through TikTok or Instagram isn’t rest; it’s just overloading your brain with useless info.
- Vapes, hookahs, and all that – Let’s be honest, it’s more of a habit than actual relaxation.
What’s the Bottom Line?
You won’t get far without rest.
Working non-stop is a dead-end road. If you don’t let your brain rest, sooner or later, you’ll hit cyberpsychosis XD. So don’t wait for a vacation—learn to rest right in the process.
