Diminishing Returns
The law of diminishing returns describes a vicious cycle that causes us to work less efficiently the more time we spend on the job. It’s just not healthy to work a 60 or 80-hour week on a regular basis. Our bodies and minds aren’t built that way.

-
We feel overwhelmed. We have too much work and there’s a major deadline looming.
-
We work 60 or 80-hour weeks, instead of 40-hour weeks.
-
We hit our physical and mental limits. Cognitive exhaustion sets in.
-
Because it’s harder to think, tasks start taking longer.
-
This causes stress, which makes it even harder to focus.
-
The work starts taking even longer.
-
Small distractions slow us down even more than usual.
-
A lot of hours are wasted due to diminishing returns.
