@baldur as someone who lives in the US and is externally living out the full “American dream” I am sincerely jealous of the cultural difference between American and European work styles.
Rest makes us better at our jobs. Time off makes us more productive. Being with family and friends helps us be more creative.
There is literally no downside to a more balanced lifestyle, and while I’m seeing people around me starting to buy into the idea we are still so far behind most of Europe…
