But why 246 minutes, you may ask? The answer lies in the science behind productivity and rest. Studies have shown that the human brain functions optimally when it works in cycles of intense focus for a period of 90 minutes, followed by a break of around 15-30 minutes. By dedicating 246 minutes of your day to self-care, you are ensuring that you have enough time for both deep work and rejuvenation.

The Benefits of the 246 Lifestyle

1. Increased Productivity: Taking breaks throughout the day allows your brain to recharge, resulting in increased focus, creativity, and productivity. By dedicating 246 minutes to self-care, you are setting yourself up for success in all areas of your life.

2. Reduced Stress: The 246 lifestyle promotes self-care and stress reduction activities such as meditation, exercise, and pursuing hobbies. These activities have been proven to reduce stress levels, improve mental health, and promote overall well-being.

3. Better Relationships: When you prioritize yourself and dedicate time to self-care, you are better equipped to show up fully in your relationships. The 246 lifestyle allows you to invest in yourself, which in turn improves your ability to connect with others on a deeper level.

4. Enhanced Creativity: By taking regular breaks and engaging in activities that inspire you, you are allowing your mind to wander and think outside the box. This can lead to enhanced creativity and problem-solving abilities.

5. Improved Health: The 246 lifestyle encourages activities such as exercise, eating nutritious meals, and getting enough sleep. By taking care of your physical health, you are setting yourself up for a long and fulfilling life.

How to Incorporate the 246 Lifestyle into Your Life

Now that you understand the benefits of the 246 lifestyle, you might be wondering how to incorporate it into your busy schedule. Here are some practical tips to get you started:

1. Create a Schedule: Dedicate specific blocks of time each day for self-care. This could be in the morning, during your lunch break, or in the evening. Stick to this schedule as much as possible and treat it as non-negotiable.

2. Identify Activities: Determine what activities bring you joy and help you relax. This could include activities like reading, journaling, taking a walk, practicing yoga, or learning a new skill. Experiment with different activities and find what works best for you.

3. Disconnect from Technology: During your 246 minutes of self-care, disconnect from technology as much as possible. Turn off notifications on your phone, avoid checking emails, and stay away from social media. This time is solely dedicated to you and your well-being.

4. Establish Boundaries: Communicate your commitment to the 246 lifestyle to your friends, family, and colleagues. Set boundaries and let them know that during your self-care time, you are unavailable. Respectfully decline any requests or invitations that might interfere with your scheduled break.

5. Prioritize Rest: In addition to engaging in activities you enjoy, make sure you also prioritize rest and relaxation. Take naps, get a massage, or simply spend some time doing nothing. Allow yourself to fully recharge and rejuvenate.

What if the real secret to greater productivity, happiness and success is a habit that is thousands of years old?

Productivity has become an international obsession. We celebrate a work culture where people boast of long working hours, their extreme schedules and how little they sleep. A constant stream of emails, texts, tweets and more keeps us connected every minute and we rarely put our phones down. Every moment needs to be maximized and no time can be wasted.
And yet most of us also feel something is wrong. All of these attempts at optimizing business and life aren’t really making us happier. Ironically, it might not be making us all that productive either. In this groundbreaking book, noted entrepreneur and money manager Aaron Edelheit breaks down the myths around productivity and offers a startlingly simple solution: the Sabbath.

Through his personal journey of discovering the joy of taking a “hard break” of one day a week to reset, Edelheit profiles not only his own life transformation, but how this same practice has been changing the lives of well known entrepreneurs, celebrities and politicians alike.

For anyone who has ever struggled to find a good balance between life and work, this book offers an essential roadmap for how to make the right choices, attain more success, put life back into perspective and gain more happiness all by taking a hard break for yourself.
