Rest, Recharge, Repeat: How Pausing Propels Your Productivity

Rest isn't a retreat - it's a strategy. Discover the seven types of rest every agent needs, how to build a rhythm of renewal, and why real productivity starts with stepping back.

This podcast is for the real estate agents building their dream life and business on their terms - especially if you're working another job, raising a family, or building it all at once. In this episode of the Double Duty Agent Podcast, Carla explores the truth behind the phrase “rest is productive.” She shares how stepping away can offer not just recovery - but clarity, performance gains, and momentum.

Backed by science and her own real-life pause, this episode helps agents design a rhythm of work and renewal that actually works.

You’ll learn:

• Why strategic pauses increase productivity and performance (with real data!)
• What research says about vacation, productivity, and promotions
• How to avoid burnout by scheduling rest like you schedule work
• The seven types of rest that every agent needs (not just a day off)
• What clarity often reveals itself only when you’re off-grid
• How to design personal rituals of rest and reconnection
• How to work weekends and protect your well-being
• What to do before and after a pause to stay in flow, not fall behind

“You don’t rest because you’re weak. You rest because you’re wise. The most aligned agents I know are the ones who pause on purpose.”

If you truly believed that stepping away would move you forward, what would you do differently this week?
What’s one aligned pause you could plan this week - and what would it make space for?
