If you're working for yourself then there's doubt about it - working hard is the logical decision. You're gaining the benefits of your sweat and tears so why wouldn't you put in a big effort.
If you're a paid employee then the decision is more difficult. Putting in a big effort leads to satisfaction and fulfilment, as you plough through your tasks for the day at high speed. But the work never ends. If you finish one job then there'll be another to start. You're a mouse on a wheel spinning it faster and faster, hoping to reach the end that never comes. And if your manager sees your capacity for work, will you be rewarded for your productivity? Possibly, but it's much more likely that you'll be loaded up with more jobs.
Working through lunch helps to clear your inbox, but it doesn't clear your mind. A break from work refreshes you for the afternoon shift.
