No, I'm willing to bet you have plenty of energy. Society has simply deemed that all of it must be spent on being productive for the sake of everyone except yourself.

"If your employees have energy to spend on meaningful activities during their own time, you're leaving money on the table. Squeeze them harder while they are on the clock."

Disagree. I used to spend time on more energy-intensive hobbies like programming and music production. But I've had mono and COVID in 2020 and I've never felt the same thereafter. Also working 40 hours a week drains a lot of energy

“No, I'm willing to bet you have plenty of energy. Society has simply deemed that all of it must be spent on being productive for the sake of everyone except yourself.”

“Also working 40 hours a week drains a lot of energy”

Hence the first comment. What if you only had to work 20 hours a week? You’d have the energy then.

True. Guess I misread. I've already switched to 36 hours and I totally aim to go lower once I earn more. Work to live, not live to work
