74Give It a Rest!
Sometimes nothing will break through the haze of mental fatigue except rest—or a good night’s sleep.
If you’re finding yourself snapping at others, your patience thinning, and your body dragging, you’re fighting a losing battle. Give it a rest!
How much rest you need really depends on the situation. If you’re not too far gone, a half hour looking out of your office window could be enough to recharge your batteries. But if you’ve been tossing a decision around in your head and analyzing scenario after scenario for hours, then call it quits for the day as soon as possible. Go home, kick your feet up, have a good meal, possibly a glass of wine, watch a good movie, and go to bed.
