The Arc of Life & The Myth of Limitless Work

You sit at your desk, hoping to put in a good shift at work, but for some reason your brain seems to be in
shutdown mode, and try as you might you cannot seem to crank it on. You agonize over your plight, you try all
kinds of fixes (viz., caffeine, tobacco, food), but nothing seems to work. Your brain simply refuses to switch on.

You finally do complete the task – after hours of agonizing – and by the time that you are done it is way after
regular work hours.

But wait; aren’t we living in a technologically advanced age, with gadgets and apps that promised to make us
more productive and efficient? Except, they don’t.
