Original Advice

You are allowed to stop before empty - Closing the laptop on time isn't laziness; it's stewardship of your energy and talent. Rest protects your reliability and amplifies your results. Release the guilt. Your worth isn't measured in hours.

Luxury Is Leaving On Time

Your grind has become a shrine to fear. You keep feeding it hours to prove you’re solid, loyal, necessary. The result: diminishing returns disguised as dedication. The work survives when you log off; your body does not. Close the laptop on time. Let emails rot overnight. Leave some undone. Protect the instrument that prints your paychecks: your nervous system, your focus, your stubborn, gold-standard consistency.

You’re a fixed earth sign, built for steady yield, not frantic extraction. Fields you grind nonstop turn to dust. Fields you let rest double their harvest. Reliability comes from rhythm, not martyrdom. Log off as a ritual of quality control. Set boundaries like fences on pasture: work grazes within them; it grows back. Your talent fattens in silence. Stopping on time is how you stay premium.
