Summary
This quote emphasizes that the most exhausting feeling or fatigue arises not from working tirelessly, but from failing to complete the work that needs to be done. It suggests that the mental burden caused by unfinished tasks and unfulfilled responsibilities weighs heavier than the physical exertion of doing the work. Procrastination and negligence in completing necessary obligations can create a sense of weariness and dissatisfaction with one's productivity. Thus, it serves as a reminder of the importance of actively pursuing and finishing the work at hand to maintain mental well-being.
