Work and Fatigue.
From the Paris La Revue.

What fatigues the motive power is get
ting to work. Once the mind is fascinated
and the field of consciousness restricted to
a single object, the brain works without
exhausting itself. Let us apply ourselves
for a good time to whatever We do, and
have several hours of sustained labor. By
quitting the task to dream, to smoke a
cigarette or to watch a fly. one becomes
exhausted.
