I learned an interesting lesson about crunch time and overwork many years ago. Many times, when it’s past 6, past 7, and you’re pounding away at whatever. .. because it Has To Be Done… Stop. Go home. Rest. Think about something else. Pet the cat; walk the dog.

Tomorrow morning you will be rested and the problem will resolve itself relatively quickly. It may be difficult to believe but often, last night’s impossible-to-solve problem untangles in 10 minutes the next morning.

Also, remember, the longer you work without a break, the more brain-fried and inefficient you are. You make more mistakes). When you overwork you’re doing yourself (and your project) a DISservice.

“Individuals who suffer from chronic overburden aren’t managing themselves well”

Exactly. Whenever I am overburdened I know that I myself am the only one to place blame, for I’ve had the time to get it done yet have waited until crunch time, and have not taken into consideration that other variables that may effect my time.

Great post as usual Tim

Wow Tim. I could send this onto to an inordinate amount of people and companies. Well said. I learned years ago that life is about living and quality, not quantity.
