Diminishing Returns

The economic concept that each successively consumed unit of a good or resource is less useful or less productive than the previous one.

In a factory with three machines but no workers, each additional worker greatly increases the output by spinning the machines.

However, the fourth worker can just make tea for the first three. Your impact on production won't be as dramatic as the first three, even if a good drink inspires you to work.
