Burnout, hustle, “crazy schedules” – sound familiar? But the perfect balance between work and rest was described millennia ago: six days of work – and one for complete rest.

Scientists at Stanford and other universities have conducted dozens of studies and have come to the conclusion:a person’s productivity drops dramatically after 55 hours a week.The extra hours are wasted. Even in 1915, the British government already knew: without a day off, efficiency drops.

Modern experiments with the four-day week confirm that people are happier, spend more time with family and feel better.

The Bible, oddly enough, sees work not as a burden but as a value – and a reminder at the same time:on the seventh day you must rest.ь. This is not a religious dogma, but a practical principle that still works today.

Conclusion? The secret to productivity is not to be perpetually busy, but to know how to stop. Rebooting is not a weakness, but a source of strength. And perhaps right now is your seventh day.
