Productivity has been high.
You’ve been on fire all day.
There is a trail of done tasks left in your wake.
Now the energy is waning.
You’re running on empty.
Sure, you can keep going.
Becoming increasing unproductive the longer you persist.
Persevering past the point of diminishing returns.
You can grind out the next task.
Or you can rest and recover.
Do what works for you to recharge.
Returning to productively tackle that task.
You know when you’ve persevered too long.
The trick is to stop and recharge before you get there.
“Focus on being productive instead of being busy.” – Tim Ferriss
“We take better care of our smartphone than ourselves. We know when the battery is depleted and recharge it.” – Arianna Huffington
