Toxic productivity
I've been thinking a lot about burnout, productivity, and hustle culture lately because I wanted to write a blog post on it. Here are some interesting facts I came across during my research:
š© Most people overestimate the number of hours they work by 5-10%. People that claim to work 75 or more hours per week overestimate by roughly 25 hours
ā³ Productivity declines sharply after working 50 hours in a week. At the 55-hour mark, it drops so much that any additional time is almost certainly not fruitful.
š¤·āāļø Managers cannot distinguish between the output of workers who put in 80 hours per week and those who just pretend to
š„ Long hours, plus all the effects of long hours (deteriorating health and relationships) lead to burnout. You can't "crush it" if you're burnt out.
š People who take their full vacation time are more productive and satisfied with their jobs
