Go to sleep now!
Do not push your sleep to a few more days because your boss called you in for work….it must be really urgent!
They must pay you for it…we are definitely tired of being burned out for peanuts that cannot even buy you a strip of Amlodipine!
Taking a break is part of the work schedule!

Besides, capitalism has tried shaming us for taking a day or week or month off to ourselves
But, no more!
By now, I guess we have learned that taking a break will not stop the capitalist from making their money, right?
We might as well just take our “leave” and breathe in as slowly as we need to!

I want you to always remember that these people whom you are giving your weekend and time-off, just like that
Will replace you faster than you can count your own heartbeat, when that time comes! (You do know this time, abi?)
So, while they demand that you show up and work, also remind yourself and them every day to show up and rest!

I will say it again….no amount of rest is bad!
In fact, the more your rest, the better for every one of us!
Taking a break should even be on the “school curricula” we have, all over the world!
Nobody should ever make you feel guilty for taking a break!

If even machines do take a break, then who are you….a mere mixture of blood and bones and muscle or fat to keep working for as long as possible?
The one thing that I know the capitalists and politicians will not easily do is to change their ways and adjust the working hours and days!
We will have to force their hand….by taking a break that has been long overdue and one that is well deserved!
Burnout is real and one doesn’t underestimate it. We all need a break from our busy work schedule
We are no machine! We all need to stop and smell the roses sometimes. Refresh and relax for a new day
This is a great reminder for everyone. We all deserve a break and a solid 8-hour sleep. I love to sometimes ditch my to-do list and have a break.
😍😍👏🏿👏🏿
I totally support movements for people to take breaks. I pride myself on a quality work-life balance and that balance is predicated on me taking regular breaks. It certainly helps that I accrue 26 days of regular leave annually…not including sick leave or all other time off I receive from my employer. I work hard but I make sure not to burn myself out. There will always be somebody to step in and take my place within my agency but there will only be one me. Taking a break when I need it is essential to my being.
Yyyyeeesssss! You get it, Juan! Thank you.
Breaks and rest are just so important to us. We have to slow down.
👍👍 indeed!
I needed to read this today. I am so bad at taking breaks.
😩😩😩
I can’t agree more with your post. I find it very difficult to function without at least eight hours of sleep at night. Somehow while working we tend to overlook this necessity. However in my case I suffer a lot the following day and land up making mistakes. I hope people learn from my experience.
😩👍
Take a break. A necessity, the right rest after fatigue … it is a way to recharge and start over.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Never work or exhaust yourself to the point of having burnout. Taking a break is important and will help you improve your performance.
👏🏿👍
Such a great post that everyone should consider as this will definitely help any individual in his/her growth and development. There’s a saying “If you are tired, rest but never give up”.
👏🏿👍
I agree with you. We need to take breaks to ensure that we have the energy to continue working.
👍👏🏿
Work/Life balance is important. It’s so easy to get burnt out and when we are we are no good to ourselves or to our jobs.
👍👏🏿
I love this! And on the same page with you. We need to take a break every now and then to recharge.
👏🏿👍
Rest is so important and so needed. I love this.
👏🏿👍
I agree, no one should feel guilty for taking a break. It’s actually a very important thing we need to do.
👍👏🏿
This is SO important! Thanks for writing about it
👏🏿👍
I hear this one on a whole other level. Capitalism has stolen everything from us and is trying to steal our precious few spare hours. Lately, they’ve begun to talk about how we don’t need 8 hours of sleep, and that’s now only 6 or 7. While there may be science behind it, part of me is blaming capitalism – surely they want us to sleep less to have more time to work.
