Try New Things

Living for the Weekends?

How about enjoying your weekends to create a more productive Monday? This is how smart people work less and get way more done. Some people have an uncanny ability to get things done. They keep their nights and weekends sacred and still get more done than people who work 10 or 20 hours more per week than they do. A study from Stanford shows that they are on to something. The study found that productivity per hour declines sharply when the workweek exceeds 50 hours, and productivity drops off so much after 55 hours that there's no point in working any more. That's right, people who work as much as 70 hours (or more) per week actually get the same amount done as people who work 55 hours.

"Time is what we want most, but what we use worst."-William Penn
