Leave yourself wanting more.

In the hustle culture, the idea is to push yourself to exhaustion before you call it a day.

“Give it everything you’ve got.” they say.

This affects our enthusiasm towards our work. It also stops us from being consistent. And our brain also works at sub-par capacity when it is used like this.

Instead, having empathy towards ourselves, letting our brain rest after 2-3 hours of deep work and not pushing it to exhaustion would lead us to wanting more the next morning.

“A horse that loves to run will beat a horse that’s compelled, every day of the week.”
