Pressure slows down your mind and brings up the error rate
Diane* has been a very successful realtor, especially during this past COVID year. However, she felt exhausted, burnt out and short tempered with her 3 kids.

Could it be that this strong work drive is simply outdated, very much like MS Windows '97? What could an upgrade on the human side of working look like?

What is your experience along those lines?
