Episode 360: Helga goes solo: White Space Challenge

Today, on the Take on Board podcast, I would like to talk to you about reclaiming your white space and why total downtime might actually be a fiduciary duty.

Let me give you a bit of the context. So I’m about to embark on a two-week holiday where I am away. Really away. I’m off to do the Larapinta Trail hike in Central Australia. It’s about 250 kilometres over 14 days. There’s no internet, there’s no computer. Because I’m going with a group, there’s actually no decisions for me to make. Someone’s going to tell me what time to get up, they’re going to tell me what direction to walk in, uh, there’ll probably be somebody at the front where I can just follow.

As someone who feels like they are always “on” I am looking forward to the challenges and opportunities of taking a break like this. I’ll report back about what I learned during this unplugging when I am back. Until then, enjoy and try to carve out some white space for yourself.
