Although we have all too often heard of the sayings “work hard play hard”, not many people are actually incorporating it into their lives. Rather than enjoying the weekend by relaxing and getting away from work temporarily, some of us have the bad habits of working overtime. Thanks to the highly advanced technology nowadays, it is ironic in a sense that it has given people an excuse to never stop working instead of making their jobs less burdensome.
Contrary to popular belief, you are not actually being as productive as you though by putting a few extra hours at work, be it in the office or at your home. Eventually, you do not only find yourself burnt out, but also expose yourself to a higher risk of depression. Research suggests that people who work for 60 hours a week are in fact less productive than those who work for 40 hours. Perhaps it is time for you to reassess your work-life balance if you find yourself working all the time. The employees at NetCredit have created an infographic that highlights some 14 scientific reasons why you should not be working on the weekend. In addition, it also provides 10 effective ways to disconnect from work.
