In a different context, I know a yoga teacher who is very much of the "do it if it feels good" philosophy.

One caveat seems to be that you have to be a highly intuitive person. You really need to have a deep instinct for what is good for you. If you were such a person, you would have a sharp sense of what is or is not good for you.

Therefore you would not overeat. As you approach the point of overeating, you already sense that it is not good for you. In fact you would stop before overeating, because overeating feels bad to you.

Some of these highly intuitive persons can apply this kind of intuition in a wide variety of contexts. They may for example sense the kind of people they want to be with, or do not want to be with - without really being able to say why.

And yes, I suppose they may sense when it would be a good time to stop work and go home to rest.
