As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden.
"So, before you leave the office each night, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever work burdens you carry, let them down for a moment. Life is short. Enjoy it!
