Some people simply enjoy boasting,

It could be ego. Some people simply enjoy boasting
about, ‘how late they had to work in order to complete a
project’ or ‘how much effort they invested in order to

Get rid of that thinking! You can get some amazing

attention, sharpen your wits and increase motivation. In
addition, taking time out helps to relieve stress, can aid the

muscle as well. It needs time to rest and recuperate in
order to perform at its best. By giving your brain time off,
you’ll be able to better concentrate and give tasks you once
