Workaholics aren't heroes. They don't save the day, they just use it up. The real hero is already home because she figured out a faster way to get things done.
In "Rework," Jason Fried emphasizes that constantly working hard does not equate to being a hero. Workaholics may appear dedicated, but they often squander their time without achieving true productivity or effectiveness. Rather than being celebrated, their relentless work ethic can lead to burnout and inefficiency.
The real hero, according to Fried, is the person who finds smarter, more efficient methods of completing tasks. This individual prioritizes balance and understands the value of time, choosing to achieve results without overextending themselves. In doing so, they demonstrate that strategic thinking and efficiency are more commendable than mere busyness.
