Often we have joked that Urban Grind is something you escape from as opposed to escape to for a coffee. Turns out that Australia is the 3rd largest Urban Grinders in the world, behind the US and Japan. I have also read that this does not make us among the most productive. In fact I think the case is that countries that work more always produce less. Can’t remember where I read that but if you consider how much you achieve when you are run down, wouldn’t you be better recharging your batteries? Something I am going to try and do more of this year.
So on average Australia works 1870 hours per year. I know I work more than that. And 1870 per year actually looks really attractive. So for those working too much I am not sure what we do about it, but boy it got my little head thinking when the average is considered high and I am above average. I don’t want to be above average. Anyway food for thought, next time you are relaxing over a coffee.
