Positive thinking goes out the window when you have too much on your plate or spread yourself too thin.

Communing with nature, making time for exercise, and treating yourself to a massage are some of the things you can do to decompress.

Research suggests that the average worker can be productive for around three hours out of a typical eight-hour workday. Working later than that takes a serious toll on our emotional, mental, and physical energy.
