10 Ways You Waste Your Own Time
Failing to rest
Not allowing yourself to rest can feel like a way of making the most of your time. Pushing and pushing yourself when your body is begging for a day off can seem like you’re beating the system. But what actually happens is you work in a chronic state of fatigue, and don’t even realize everything is taking you twice as long as it would if you were rested and refreshed. The consequences can be worse than that though. You can face total burnout, at which point, you cannot do anything at all for days or weeks on end. Some people have complete meltdowns when they burnout, and have to put their lives on hold while they take care of themselves. All of that could be avoided by listening to your body, and taking frequent breaks when necessary.
