Most people find that the eight-hour workday is becoming more and more stressful. Because of all this stress, they do not feel like enjoying life when they finally get a chance to relax. There are a few ways to lessen the burden of the workday, while still getting done the required amount of work.

A few months back (Nov 2007) the ONION, posted this humorous entry on work and productivity. Among the findings is the fact that actually working increase productivity versus not working.

"Perhaps even more shocking, the study reveals that not working significantly decreases worker productivity, sometimes even resulting in no work getting done at all. Similar findings were reported in the areas of avoiding work, putting off work, complaining about work instead of actually working, pretending to work, and f**king around."
