Rest Is Part of Doing Great Work
Many people believe that working longer always means getting more done. But if you’re exhausted, the quality of your work usually starts to drop.
Think about a business owner answering customer emails late at night after a long day. They’re tired, distracted, and accidentally send an email with the wrong pricing information. The next morning, they have to spend time fixing the mistake.
If they had stopped to rest and handled it with a fresh mind the next day, they probably would have gotten it right the first time.
Taking breaks isn’t about avoiding work. It’s about making sure your best energy goes into the work that matters.
