Good one, really. I come from a slow paced culture, our neighbours, they make jokes about it all the time. And it's funny because I am always stuck between choosing what approach better serves my kind of lifestyle.
If you work and take rest every now and then, you work longer and do less. Also, you have less time for traveling, and other activities where you can rest fully and enjoy. Still when I rush it with work to have more time for fun later, I find it stressful more often than not. I feel the imbalance between work and rest a lot more significantly.
So I say, chill, do as much as you can and less. It's an epidemic anyways 😂
