When more isn't better
In some areas of life, more isn’t always better:
One Krispy Kreme donut is delightful. A dozen is regretful.
Two Tylenol relieves pain. Ten are harmful.
Regular workouts improve health. Non-stop exercise leads to injuries.
When it comes to work…we seem to lack the same understanding.
We behave as if more always yields more.
One more hour at our desk, two more projects, three more virtual meetings.
There’s a point when the quantity of our demands negatively impacts the quality of our results and well-being.
What we may need more of is the awareness of when to say: no more.
