Agree
- Exhaustion kills quality of work anyway
- Prevents longer breakdowns down the line
- Modeling self-care helps workplace culture
- Rest literally restores cognitive function
Disagree
- Deadlines don't care about your feelings
- Taking breaks becomes a slippery slope
- Sometimes pushing through builds resilience
- Not everyone has that privilege at work
