You work hard today, or you go work hard, and the part wey dey come after don dey go badly for a while now. Na that second half we dey talk about here. There dey one room, and one lamp, and one evening dey come wey fit truly be yours if anything about the handover change.

One blanket dey lie down on top chair arm. The lamp dey make its warm circle for ground beside you. Somebody television dey sound through wall, low and no clear. One book with receipt inside, dey hold one page you stop since two weeks ago wey you never return go again.

You stop work but you no really stop, and na that difference dey bring the tiredness. Your body dey sofa but the job still dey run quietly for background, meaning the hours wey suppose renew you dey collect half payment from both sides. Na why full evening off fit still leave you no better pass how you start. E no mean say you need more rest. E mean say nothing don land well, because the handover never really happen and the work never really drop.

Watch wetin make rest work well, no be how plenty rest you get. One hour where the job truly close dey do more than whole evening wey e just dey pause, and the difference no be time, na whether the thing don finish for today or e just dey wait. So the solution no be longer evening or earlier stop time, na real ending: one moment where you talk say, this one don finish till tomorrow, then you behave as if na true.

So today get one time wey work go stop, and you go talk am out loud when you reach that time. Then you do one single thing wey no get purpose at all. No be useful thing, no be something wey go improve you, no be small task. Something wey you go struggle to explain to anybody wey ask you, you go do am for no reason at all, just because you wan do am.

Rest only dey work when you truly drop the work. Drop am tonight, properly and out loud, then see wetin the evening go do with all that space once e get somewhere to go.
