Dr. Lillian Gilbreth, professor of management at Purdue University, studied women in the rest room of a dress factory. Some of them were limp with fatigue; some bright-eyed and awake. Yet all the women had been working the same number of hours. Dr. Gilbreth found that most of the wide-awake ones had plans for the evening – a party or a date – and were anticipating a good time. The tired ones were those who had nothing to look forward to.
