It’s really really really important to remember that working hard and stress are not evils (at all!).
It’s the failure of so many of us to recover and retreat from stress so that we refuel and enjoy life fully that’s the real and pressing problem.
The most productive people on the planet don’t work all the time. No, they understand that “hustle and grind” is a bad strategy and that less is actually more.
When they work, they work with fantastic focus and splendid dedication. And then, they pause. They renew. They walk and travel and read and play. They recover and rest and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
