I’ve found that people are far more productive and experience less burnout when they are able to fully recharge their batteries. It’s energizing and healing to take time to do non work-related things. Balanced individuals know how to separate work and play or, in the best case scenario, how to make their passion into their living as well. Companies that work their employees all the time may see short-term gains in productivity and profits but may be overlooking employees’ long-term health and well-being.
