People who are overworked and stressed out usually destroy their work-life balance by bringing work home with them or worrying excessively about unfinished tasks, which causes stress.

People who are constantly busy feel squeezed for time and stressed out, which reduces their attention and cognitive capacity.
๐ต Tunnelling
When we are having a narrow cognitive bandwidth, it can help us hyper-focus but is also harmful.
Tunnelling can lead us to focus on the urgent but not so important tasks immediately in front of us, which at the end of the day isn't very productive.

๐ต Sitting Idle
People love being busy and cannot sit idle. A study found people preferred giving themselves electric shocks rather than sitting idly all day.
Smoking, for example, is habit-forming due to the same reason, having something to do, instead of being idle.

๐ต Email as a Slot Machine
Email is the ideal attention-grabbing slot machine.
Instead of consistently focusing on one job, our brain prefers to be distracted by new information and enjoys being alerted.

Email is not productive if it is addressed constantly since it is pretend work that passes for actual work.
๐ต Time Scarcity
The belief that we have less time and money is known as a scarcity mindset.
We end up doing what is urgent and continue to be confined in the tunnel because we lack the room, the quiet, or the mental clarity to act in a moral or important manner.

๐ต Less Time, More Focus
If we plan our limited time, taking care of focusing on productive work, rather than doing unproductive 'busy' work all the time, we end up being more accurate, and careful, leading to growth and real benefits of work.
