Less is more

"Less is more", it is a well known saying, which I have been eager to understand the meaning.  Recently, I found that this is a concept with multiple aspects, and I figured out one of them.

I am always a hard-working person, and I have been suffered from enormous stuffs I am working on.  In the past, I had spent more and more time on working even than holidays; however, spending more time on working does not always work.  In my personal experience, allocating more time for working somehow does not work!  Why? It turns out that I would assuming I still have much time to finish the works, resulting the decrease of efficiency.

Fortunately, I have found such a hazard.  The solution is: Do not expect extra time (e.g. weekend and night) and have some recreational activities on holidays to strike a balance between work and life.  With a tight schedule,  I have to finish the tasks within the weekdays and the normal working hours; therefore, both my throughput and happiness increase due to the fact that I have better working efficiency and relax.

"Less is more" means that spending less time on working brings more throughput and pleasure.
