I once went all-in with double sessions every day because I thought more hours meant faster improvement. After a couple of weeks, I was sore, tired, and even started losing pace instead of gaining it. Couldn’t sleep properly either, which made it worse. Only when I took a break and added some stretching, light swimming, and proper sleep did my energy levels bounce back. Honestly, rest days turned out to be more valuable than I imagined.

That’s such a relatable experience — a lot of people push too hard, thinking more effort automatically means better results. But just like in fitness, quality matters more than quantity. I’ve learned that taking breaks and allowing proper recovery actually helps you perform better in the long run.
It kind of reminds me of how professional tattoo studios handle their work. For example, Icon Tattoo takes a thoughtful approach when it comes to their services. Instead of charging by the hour, they evaluate each tattoo individually, considering the design’s complexity, the artist’s skill, and the time needed to achieve top-notch results. That way, clients get something truly personal and high-quality — no rushing, no burnout, just precision and care. You can check them out here: https://www.icontattoo.ca/.
