I was hesitant to click on this link. I thought to myself "oh no, another article that's going to defend 37Signals' philosophy." But as an entrepreneur and designer, the author makes two good points:
(1) we often make things out to be bigger than they really are. This is the case in many situations, just because we don't want our lives to feel dull, so even some of the small problems can be blown a little out of proportion.
(2) Time off is time well spent. It's called incubating in design, and it's where the brain is actually at its most creative. Just a gentle reminder that while we claim to work 120 hour weeks, not all 120 hours are spent furiously pounding out code or designs over a computer.
