because continuing

work

can lead to multiple mistakes and because an overloaded to-do list is often the cause of feeling bad.

For example

, a surgeon tired of long-term

, and clearing a daily to-do list can relieve psychological pressure and lead to good rest.

breaking plans and promises.

For example

, it is common among software developers to give time estimates for project completion without discovering all underlying pitfalls, and the most frequent scenario, in

work

and avoid problematic mistakes. Being well-rested leads to higher productivity than working long hours.
