In a recent survey of workers, 82% of the respondents said they are overworked. And this has resulted in high burnout rates. And in the United States alone, 43% of the respondents indicated that staff morale was low because they are overworked. To make matters more complicated, almost half or 49% have left their company because they felt overwhelmed by the amount of work. Not only is overworking detrimental to long-term wellness, it is addictive. Too many people wrap their overall self-worth and identity in their performance. But what if there was another way?
