Big updates need a restart. Sometimes you power down for a weekend and come back running the new version.

Rest is not a pause in becoming different, it is part of how the change finishes. After a stretch of effort there is a period where nothing visible happens and everything quietly settles, and skipping it usually means the new version never quite loads. Pushing straight through tends to cost more than the days you saved.

Block one stretch of real downtime, a weekend if you have one and an evening if you do not. No catching up, no small productive tasks. Come back and notice what has sorted itself out without your supervision.
