Strategic Recovery: Why Rest Improves Decision Quality

Why Tired Minds Choose Poorly

Building Recovery Into Performance
- Schedule recovery before exhaustion forces it.
- Protect sleep as a decision-making tool.
- Use breaks to restore perspective, not escape responsibility.
Rest as Strategy
Recovery creates the conditions for sharper thinking. Rested minds see more options and make better choices.
