We need rest not just so we feel better. We need rest for actual creation of what we're going to need the next day.

A person who hasn't grieved a significant loss has unfinished business inside and can cause others great grief as a result.

That is why success and fruitfulness depend as much upon focusing on the "who" you are as much as the "what" of the work you do. Invest in your character, and it will give you the returns that you are looking for by only investing in the work itself. You can't do the latter without the former.
