“Doing less is not being lazy. Don't give in to a culture that values personal sacrifice over personal productivity.”
— Tim Ferriss

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people believe that working non-stop and making many sacrifices is the best way to be successful. However, this isn't always true. It's important to recognize that taking breaks, doing less, and focusing on tasks that truly matter can actually lead to better results. Imagine a student who studies all night before exams without sleeping. They might think this shows dedication, but they can end up too tired to perform well. Instead, if they study effectively and also rest, they can be more productive and focused. This approach isn't about being lazy; it's about being smart with your time and energy. So, it's wise to prioritize important work and self-care over constant, exhaustive efforts.
