I live in Silicon Valley where productivity is a RELIGION. We worship our ability to get things done with style and flash, and we can at times have an aggressive kind of optimism that borders on spiritual greed. And by “we” in this context, I mostly mean “me.”

But I worry about us. I worry that we are over-farming ourselves, eroding our own soil, so-to-speak and we may be in desperate need of some time to just go dark. Whatever that might mean. In this episode, I explore how I plan on going dark, and how you might explore the concept in your own life, and rest your own proverbial soil.
