Rather than self congratulatory back pats for how hard you worked, the response to someone getting the same results as you but working less long or hard should be intrigue.

You can view it as laziness like everyone else or view it for what it really is: efficiency.
Hard work is a safety blanket in sport. If you lose, at least you can say "but we worked so hard". If you shoot for efficiency and lose, you don't have a baked in excuse when they come for you.

The truth: in both cases you lost.
Sustainability, enthusiasm and intent win the day. It is an unfortunate fact that all three decline as the day goes on. If you ask me to coach 6 groups back to back, I feel bad for group 6.

Having lived and worked in Japan I can attest to the rewarding of work merely leading to a perpetual game of "who can be at the office the longest?"

They literally have a word for suicide by work.

People orient their behavior towards what is rewarded or highlighted
Reward results, and people will get more results. The work is baked in. Neither approach is perfect, but one actually produces the thing you want, rather than the illusion of it.
Parallel to this:

All technology should allow you to get the same or better results from the same or less work.

If your new GPS system adds 10 hours a week to your workload, you're moving backwards not forwards.

Most systems should include a staff member in their pricing.
