Being perpetually busy only leads you to job-induced stress and can eventually lead to burnout, which isn’t exactly good for your health nor your productivity.

And if research doesn’t convince you, consider this: Some of history’s greatest like Charles Darwin, Edna O’Brien and Charles Dickens all worked just four to five hours a day. See here how cutting your work hours can benefit you.
