A coworker said to me one morning, "Do you ever feel like alls you ever do is get up and go to work?" Well, yeah, I'm sure everyone feels this way but interestingly that is usually as far as it goes: A complaint. And it's no surprise. We go to work under the idea that working 40+ hours a week is normal, even though it's a form of 'enforced normal', or the 'going rate' of our society.... we rationalize that it's just 40 hours, everyone else is working that much or more, this is just the way it is.
So why does our body and attitudes about work tell us something different from what our willpower and society tell us?
