Most people think getting more done means working longer hours. I used to believe that too. You know, logging on early, stretching my day, trying to squeeze in more. But more hours didn’t make me more productive. If anything, it did the opposite.
That kind of approach leads to burnout, and often worse, it drains your focus during the hours that actually matter. The real shift is working smarter, not longer. And that’s what led me to something called the “4-hour rule,” popularized by Mark Manson.
