**I’m tired.** It’s been a long week and the first time I’ve traveled in almost **30 months**. While it was fun to finally meet co-workers that I have only ever known through the tiny square boxes on Zoom and Teams, it was interesting to see how the stimulation of face-to-face interaction just **wiped me out**.

I’ve written about Rest Day Brags before….

[#RestDayBragInspired by those that brag about rest days instead of “epic” adventures, this week I’m leaning hard into it and taking a quick Makoism #restdaybrag.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/61/8f/618f2076-e6a0-40dc-8037-06080661dee7/content/images/public/images/06224db7-5b8f-4ca3-8c38-8e2568089a2b_120x120.png)Makoism](https://makoism.com/restdaybrag/)

So I will take this weekend off, rest, and recoup, and I’ll be back next week.

Until then, here are the top 5 makoism’s from the few months.

**See you next week on the flip side; well-rested**.

[Surprising Things About Boredom"Im bored." If you are a parent, these are the two most dreaded words. Now that I'm writing this, I probably know just as many adults who have a fundamental problem with being bored. Plenty of people can't sit still. They require constant motion, passive consumption (![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/61/8f/618f2076-e6a0-40dc-8037-06080661dee7/content/images/public/images/06224db7-5b8f-4ca3-8c38-8e2568089a2b_120x120.png)Makoism](https://makoism.com/surprising-things-about-boredom/)

[Mako "Things I Like": 2021For the last several years (7 to be exact), it's been an ongoing tradition to keep track of and share things/apps/processes that I have found helpful throughout the year. Think of it as my "yearly review" with links and tips for the things that I surround myself with as part of an ongoing attempt to maximize my daily workflow, put me …![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/61/8f/618f2076-e6a0-40dc-8037-06080661dee7/content/images/public/images/06224db7-5b8f-4ca3-8c38-8e2568089a2b_120x120.png)Makoism](https://makoism.com/mako-things-i-like-2021/)

[I Don't KnowFor the last several years, I've kept a commonplace journal in DayOne that I store all sorts of bits and pieces of wisdom that I run across. It could be a favorite quote. Or perhaps an inspiring picture. A random story. A doodle. A word. Whatever goes. The only rule is to make it worthwhile for yourself.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/61/8f/618f2076-e6a0-40dc-8037-06080661dee7/content/images/public/images/06224db7-5b8f-4ca3-8c38-8e2568089a2b_120x120.png)Makoism](https://makoism.com/i-dont-know/)

[ContinuityIf there were a single word to describe thoughts this week, it would be continuity. While I am not solely referring to this week's outage of Amazon, it amuses me when people are shocked at how interconnected everyday life is to cloud providers. For example, a![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/61/8f/618f2076-e6a0-40dc-8037-06080661dee7/content/images/public/images/06224db7-5b8f-4ca3-8c38-8e2568089a2b_120x120.png)Makoism](https://makoism.com/continuity/)

[Don’t Do ItAnyone else in the same boat? Here we are, a few weeks into 2022, and my calendar is already a complete train wreck. I honestly don’t know what happened; I have systems in place with “blocks,” say ‘no’ to meetings without agendas and decline things that waste time.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/61/8f/618f2076-e6a0-40dc-8037-06080661dee7/content/images/public/images/06224db7-5b8f-4ca3-8c38-8e2568089a2b_120x120.png)Makoism](https://makoism.com/dont-do-it/)
