In today’s fast-paced world, there’s a prevailing belief: the more you work, the more successful you become. But is this really true?

Constant work isn’t the magic solution. This belief is misleading. It’s more complex than a simple formula of work equals success.

Picture yourself as a battery. Can a battery work continuously without recharging? No. So why do we expect ourselves to?

Success comes from a balance. It’s a rhythmic dance of work, relaxation, and rest. You need periods of work to achieve your goals. But you also need relaxation to rejuvenate your mind and rest to restore your body.

Being ceaselessly on the go leads to burnout. This won’t help you reach your goals. So remember, take a break. Rest. Unplug.

Turns out, the real key to productivity is knowing when to stop.
