Americans are working more than ever before. One study I read recently said that from 1973 to 1990 the average workweek went up from 41 hours to 47 hours. And that’s not too bad, but over the same time period the amount of time spent on rest went down 37 percent! This is due in large part to technology. So-called “labor-saving devices” have actually skyrocketed the amount of hours we work. You used to have to go into the office or to the jobsite to work. Now all you have to do is reach over and grab your phone off your bedside table.
