10 reasons why you should work less and craft more!

 1. 51 percent of workers in the US suffer from depression, which may explain why so many people are workaholics. 

2. Crafting reduces stress, and gives you a better sense of accomplishment 

3. Crafting is a way to fulfill the emotional needs workers encounter. The need for control, the need for creating something and feeling proud of your work. 

4. Crafting busies your hand, and takes up space in your mind. 

5. When your mind is too empty (and free of creativity) you have more space to worry. 

6. Crafting can make beautiful things to give to your friends and family, providing a stronger emotional relationship between relatives. 

7. Art is forever. Work comes and goes. 

8. Studies show that people with a good work life balance experience greater happiness.
