In modern society, many individuals take pride in their grueling work schedules, often viewing long hours and constant busyness as indicators of success. This prevailing mindset suggests that relentless exhaustion has become a status symbol among professionals, where one feels compelled to showcase their overwork as a personal achievement.

However, according to Jason Fried in "It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work," this glorification of fatigue is misguided. He argues that sustained exhaustion should not be celebrated but recognized as an unhealthy and reckless choice. Instead of taking pride in busyness, individuals should prioritize well-being and work-life balance to foster a more productive and fulfilling life.
