Excellent advice. How much time and energy is wasted just because we feel overwhelmed and unmotivated? Way too much. I'd rather blast through the stuff (hopefully doing some good) then go relax. We employers are guilt of chaining our employees to desks or cubes and forcing people to stare at screens all day. Idiotic if you ask me. We should be asking our employees how they like to work, then make the environment work better for them. That would help a lot I think. Passing this on to my employees (and myself). Excellent advice.
