K.Anders Ericsson,a professor of psychology at Florida State University,conducted a study in Berlin and found that the amount of time successful musicians spent practicing each day was surprisingly low-a mere 90 minutes per day.In fact,the most successful musicians not only practiced less,but also took more naps throughout the day and indulged in breaks during practice when they grew tired or stressed.It has long been known that working too much leads to life-shortening stress.It also leads to disengagement at work,as focus simply cannot be sustained for much more than 50 hours a week.Even Henry Ford knew the problem with overwork when he cut his employees' schedules from 48-hour weeks to 40-hour weeks. He believed that working more than 40 hours a week had been causing his employees to make many errors,as he recounted in his autobiography,My Life and Work.

What if we viewed leisure time not as slacking,but as necessary time for reflecting?Of
