I’ve just returned from a summer holiday in Annecy, France - a holiday that turned into a masterclass in doing nothing whilst doing everything that matters.

It was brilliant. I fully switched off from work.

I slept loads and chilled in the sun.

I spent quality time with my kids, my brothers family, my girlfriend.

I did some lightweight exercise and enjoyed good food, beer and wine.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for switching off or wondered how to be fully present for your kids without checking your phone every five minutes, this one’s for you. Let’s go.

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

Too many of us spend our holidays chasing experiences and checking work emails - only to return home more burnt out than when we left. When you neglect true rest, you sacrifice clarity in decisions, quality time with loved ones, and the mental recharge that fuels your business and relationships.

Holidays aren’t luxuries - they’re essential reboots for the man your family needs you to be.
