#25: Shame

We all know what we are supposed to do, but this chart points out two things. One, how much sleep affects our ability to be productive, and two, how much time we spend trying to live our lives outside of work. You can plan everything out to a T, but if you’re running on empty and feeling like no matter how hard you worm, it’s not enough, you’re bound to shame yourself into eternity.

I’d love to wave my magic wand and have everyone get eight hours of sleep and magically fulfill every plan they’ve made, but that sounds a bit too Orwellian. We need some people to be a hot mess so that our shame meters aren’t quite so extensive. This is why I watch Hoarders. My house looks so clean after watching that show, and I didn’t have to scrub a single thing! It’s all a matter of perspective.
