Resting Now and Then (ABTM) · 5:42am Jan 26th, 2019
Resting is an important thing to do. People need rest. If we don't take the time needed to rest, or to sleep, we tend to overwork ourselves. However, overworking ourselves can be done in many different ways. Allow me to explain.
A person can overwork themselves in a very short amount of time. You can overwork yourself in under ten minutes if you really try to. Think about it. If you're used to only ten pushups a day then it probably isn't such a good idea to do one hundred pushups every hour. You may very well kill yourself or make yourself pass out, or worse. Working a lot in a short amount of time can do the same as constant work over a long period of time.
I, personally, have had a case of the former. I've been lazy plenty of times, but because of that I cause myself a lot of stress when I feel I have squandered my duties. I try to get a bunch of work done in an unreasonable amount of time. It's one of the reasons I start giving out very few updates. I take breaks because I cause myself to crash. I give myself too much work and then don't do it. Things, like writing, that I do for enjoyment end up turning into jobs, and I hate that. It causes me to procrastinate
Same thing can happen to anyone.
In fact, I think I'll rest now. Have a nice day.
