We don't need to work so hard
Luminaries such as Charles Dickens, Gabriel García Márquez, and Charles Darwin worked for five hours a day or less. In truth, work expands to fill the time allotted. Most of us could spend fewer hours at the office and do the same amount of work.
Taking the time to be unproductive will make you better at your job.

Time Measurement Vs Time Management
Productivity does not come from sitting idle at the office for hours.
Employees who are able to manage their time well and have a great work-life balance are more productive and should be valued over a person spending a lot of time in office but achieving little.
Stop Using Time As A Productivity Measure
- Avoid unnecessary meetings, as many meetings could be some form of excuse for the organizer to look busy and productive.
- Have clearly-defined productivity goals, instead of filling up calendars to have an illusion of productivity, while being busy just for the sake of it.
- Many repetitive tasks can be delegated, automated or even avoided.
- The Pareto Principle, also known as the 80/20 rule, tells us that 80 percent of our success will come from 20 percent of our efforts.
- Protect your time and practice mindful time-blocking to take care of important tasks.

The Science of Developing Self-Control in Life
Self-Control Components
Self-control has two components:
- Our ability to resist temptations
- Our ability to exercise control over our behaviour and emotions. ...
Self Control and Eating Healthy
While it’s obvious we need to exhibit a certain amount of self-control while choosing what we put in our bodies, that is not the whole story.
If we educate our bodies and learn about nutrition, longevity and how our individual bodies function, we could be eating a lot healthier.
The Pleasures Of Life
There is a lot of stuff available for us to do that makes us feel better instantly. Watching TV, going to the beach, drinking alcohol, smoking, and almost every other activity that seems pleasurable to us, giving us temporary pleasure in a jiffy. When we keep doing that, the long term effects are bad, and we feel older, weaker, sicker, while not having any achievement in our lives.
This is a natural process of a slow movement towards disorder, is also the second law of thermodynamics, called Entropy.
