Do you ever feel guilty for leaving the office on time? Do you ever brag about the overtime you put in? Do you put off things you like to do because you are so busy with work? Do you know that the US has now surpassed Japan in hours worked by employees?
Our brains are like cell phone batteries, we are only productive for so many hours of the day (about 7 or 8 hours) and then our brain needs to be recharged. Our brains need a break. Do you remember what it’s like to take it easy, going for a walk, doing nothing or enjoying free time?
If your company downsizes or goes out of business, all the overtime and loyalty you had for the company now means nothing. The US is the only country that has the shortest vacations of the top industrialized nations.
If you’ve ever bragged to anyone about your overtime (meaning that you brag to people that you don’t have a life) then you need to read the book “Work to Live” and change your life. It’s time for America to wake up.
