Most times, people get so engrossed with their work that they feel that without them the work will not be done. Well, just to remind you, if anything happens to your health in the cause of the discharge of your work, you will be surprised how easy it is for someone else to replace you and they may even perform better because they will come in with reserved energy. This is why resting is not a choice.
If you have observed your productivity during the morning hours to the day when your strength has been renewed and later the day when you have expended your energy, you will agree with me that productivity tends to decrease as you expend physical energy. One way to renew both your physical and mental energy is by taking a rest.
Employees have understood this fact and that is why they normally give their workers some times (as leave) to rest, not because they love to see them leave but because they know they will be better at the job when they come back and they obviously need you better. You do not have to wait until your body breaks down for you to see a need to rest, the rest should prevent the breakdown and not the other way round.
The truth is, if you refuse to take a willing rest for yourself even when you are tired, you may be put to rest if you finally break down. You need to understand that no human, not even you, is perfectly irreplaceable, so do not see yourself as the grand commander of the whole world.
Imagine using your mobile device for days without allowing it to rest and without even recharging it, what do you think will become the fate of the device after the extensive usage? Obviously, the functionality will be affected and it may break down. This is exactly what happens to your physical and mental functionalities if you refuse to take a rest.
One thing about not taking rest is that you cannot cheat the format and pattern of nature. If you skip rest, it will still wait for you in the neatest future and you must pay the debt you owe to nature, so why not pay it now willingly so you will not have to be forced to pay it later in the future.
Before you put in your entire spirit into something, ask yourself if it will be worth it. The truth is, your work may not stick with you when you get old and lonely, but your family will stick around, so try to take timeout and rest with them. Always remember that rest is not an act that is reserved for the weak but an act to renew one's strength.

Hello @samminator
I think that what you are saying is an evil of many people, to believe they are irreplaceable and the reality is that it is a falsehood. We are all replaceable and expendable.
You are very right, before doing anything you have to think about whether or not it is worth the time and effort.
That's right. Once people come to terms with the fact that they are replaceable, they will know how to take care of themselves. Thanks buddy
Greetings @samminator,
Sometimes we are not able to delegate functions and we take on all the work without giving our body time to recover, the sad thing of it all is how every individual is replaceable the some job position. Therefore, the idea is to achieve a balance between what we do and what we delegate, always respecting the carrying capacity of our body. Thank you for your contribution
Exactly, we should try to achieve balance even when working. Know when to go solo and when to delegate duties and when to rest.
Thanks buddy
Rest is very important to the body, it enhance creativity and infuse energy into the body.
Indeed nobody is irreplaceable, let us take out time to rest.
That's right buddy, our creativity tends to be enhanced when we have rested a while. Thanks a lot
Hi @samminator, very thoughtful your post. We cannot demand more from our body than it can give. I know many people who have clung so much to work that they distance themselves from everything and everyone and of course that is not good. Sooner or later they will realize that time goes by and when they can no longer dedicate themselves to work they will be old and alone. Greetings!
Thanks a lot for the nice comment buddy. Indeed, we cannot force our body to go beyond its natural limit
The first paragraph got my attention. You are right, nobody is the back bone of any project, you will be surprised you are replaced if you fall ill. Please take proper care of your health and take a rest when necessary.
I'm glad to know that the first paragraph got your attention. true, everyone should take care of their health and rest too. Thanks buddy
Excelent job congratulations
Thanks a lot. I'm honoured
Wow very Beautiful 🥰🥰
Many thanks
