For people who think that working more means being more productive, Caroline Garrafa remembers that the body is paying the price, even if the person does not realize. Working excessively increases the risks of anxiety, from depression and cardiovascular diseases. AND, she alerts, careful: these five truths will change the way you see your work pace
1️. Productivity plummets after 50 hours a week. Studies show that after 50 hours of weekly work, your productivity drops drastically
2️. After a certain point, you are just wearing yourself out. Your body is already suffering – it's just that you still haven't realized
3️. Time is the most precious resource and it does not come back. Remember: time is not renewable, when you work more than necessary, you are sacrificing moments with important people and, this time, doesn't come back anymore
4️. Being busy does not define your worth. You don't need to be busy to be important. One of the main internal saboteurs is the overachiever, who understands that it only has value when it is producing
5️. Burnout is not a trophy or a source of pride. Respecting your limits is a sign of strength and emotional intelligence
