‘Rest’ – Jordan Peterson

“In my coaching practice, I worked with people who were spectacularly successful and usually workaholics – they worked 80 hours a week non-stop. One of the things we were always trying to figure out was, how much should you work? Because one answer is you work till you die. You exhaust yourself and that’s not a good idea.

You don’t want to do so much work that the amount of work you do interferes with the amount of work you could still do.

If you work like mad for two weeks and have to lie in a hospital bed for a month, then it isn’t very productive. You need to figure out how much you can work diligently and then how much you have to recuperate so that you can get back up and work again.”


There’s a lot of truth in that.

Time to sleep, methinks 🙂
