How long and often the break(s) should be will depend on the individuals psychological makeup. It is usually not the body that burns out through the stress of constant work, but rather the psyche. I know I'm not a machine and don't care to be worked like one. Nobody likes being 'ridden hard and put away wet'. Needing a break every now and then is not a sign of weakness, but rather just a part of being human. | Good answer. I couldn't agree more. What would you say is a comfortable number of daily work hours for you, then? <--- EVERYONE ELSE, FEEL FREE TO ANSWER THAT ONE, TOO! |
