I think if we were better at dividing our tasks up into sections, working on one section at a time, not multi-tasking, and learning when to say something is done instead of insisting on perfection, we'd have less burnout and more productivity. We jump whenever a phone call, email or text message appears and we feel we have to answer it immediately lest the other person think less of us. Time and people management skills are something we have lost in this fast-paced society. So true, Aaron.

This is the first time I have thought about burnout as a consequence of exercising self-control for too long, without breaks. Thinking of PCM and how most organizations are accustomed to operating helps put individual levels of self-control into perspective. However, it isn´t easy for most people to view things so objectively, which puts people with a different threshold of self-control under significant pressure at times. So, being self-ful and giving oneself permission to take a break and recharge is key and, consequently, difficult for me to do. I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts on this Jeff.
