35-YO Overworked Man Ends Up At The Hospital, Doctor Tells Him To Reduce His Working Hours By 50%
A doctor's viral advice recommends cutting working hours by half for a guy who works 17 hours a day, emphasizing the necessity of work-life balance and prioritizing personal well-being.
People in their twenties and thirties with full-time jobs are likelier to make unhealthy decisions. There are several reasons to conclude that people's ability to maintain a healthy work-life balance has diminished, especially, post covid.
Working long hours can take a toll on your body and mind. While diligence and dedication to one's work are commendable, working excessive hours without rest or recreation can lead to burnout, stress, low productivity, and even major health issues.
Self-care and having a healthy work-life balance are two things that many professionals, including doctors, stress the importance of. This includes making time for hobbies and social activities, getting enough sleep, and maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine. Establishing boundaries and work hours that allow for adequate rest and recovery is also important.
Take this case for instance: a man working 17 hours a day landed at the hospital and the doctor had to tell him to reduce his work hours by 50%.
