Are you working TOO much?

Do you feel like the grind never stops?

The trend nowadays is to never take a moment for yourself…if you’re not working, you’re not earning…but it can have serious complications.

Here’s a formula from Stylist you can use to figure out whether you really are working too much…it’s called the 42% Rule!

Studies show your brain and body need to spend at least 42% of their time relaxing and not under stress just to keep you functioning properly.

For a 24-hour day, 42% works out to about 10 hours…so that includes sleep, exercise, watching TV, reading, or anything else you do to unwind.

If you can’t get in 10 hours in one day, you can spread it out over a week or more.

When you work more than that, eventually you’ll burn out, get sick and/or wind up oversleeping to catch up…not good!

Are you getting your 42%
