We're all capable of pushing through exhaustion to meet an urgent deadline or finish a project, but it shouldn't be a long-term strategy. Like the muscles in your body, your mind becomes fatigued after extreme effort. In several studies, researchers found that exerting self-control actually required large amounts of glucose. That means that you need to replenish after mental effort the same way you need to after physical effort.
Your brain isn't designed to be endlessly productive. In fact, the brain is most efficient when it's allowed to move between periods of focus and unfocus (Pomodoro method, anyone?). That's because, during periods of rest, play, and relaxation, the brain is able to consolidate memories, crystallize learning, and work on problem-solving. Focused attention uses about 5% of the body's energy, whereas rest - formally known as the default mode network (DMN) - utilizes about 20% of the body's energy.
Even though it seems counterintuitive, time spent resting actually makes you more productive. Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, a Silicon Valley consultant and researcher, describes the balance between work and rest in his book, Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less. He says:
"Rest is not this optional leftover activity. Work and rest are actually partners. They are like different parts of a wave. You can't have the high without the low. The better you are at resting, the better you will be at working."
At BetterUp, we call this shift Inner Work, and it's an intrinsic part of how we support our team's well-being, productivity, and growth. When employers don't prioritize inner work and rest, their teams are prone to stagnation, burnout, and high turnover.
