Do you get irritated when your colleagues don't work at the same non-stop multi-taskinging pace you do? Surprisingly, workers who know how to take breaks and 'unplug' are often more productive than those who are connected 24/7. Multidisciplinary research is showing that human beings are not designed to expend energy continuously. Strategic renewal of energy-- naps, lunch away from your desk, exercise, sleep time, and regular vacations--boosts job performance, productivity and health. If the prevailing work ethic recognized this, there might be more harmony, as well as productivity, in the workplace.
