Some good answers here. In keeping with my order/entropy point, some behaviors I personally find highly restorative are personal grooming behaviors: shave, clip fingernails, get a haircut. To a lesser extent, tidying up. I value tidiness more than cleanliness (up to a point)

For work stuff, I find some kinds of process reconciliation work restful and restorative. Liking catching up on logging hours, sending out invoices, filing away expense receipts.

6 stages of recovery 1. Chill, eat, sleep 2. Basic triage ordering to get to minimum functional potential 3. Escapist leisure to more orderly places (TV/fiction) 4. Advanced order restoration, short of OCD 5. Energy reboot with exercise 6. Low-stakes creative work-play (poiesis)

If life (or whatever you want to call the opposite of exhaustion) is free energy, then minimizing entropy or maximizing energy both increase the free energy.

But I love the observation because the entropy part often seems to be ignored. I find it the most intriguing.

It will help if there was way to quantify personal entropy. Then we could set an upper control limit for it and a periodic forced reboot/recovery.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

If every athlete I know would focus on mastering recovery rather than smashing every single workout they’d be 10x where they are today.

How do good athletes recover?
