Myth: You can give your 100% to work every day.
Between your home life, social life, and professional life, you don’t operate at 100% efficiency.
If you force yourself to give your 100% every day, you will burn out.
Here’s how I approach it:
I know that my best effort looks different each day.
Depending on my energy levels, physical activity, social interactions, type of work, etc.
This is also why I advocate for setting habits over goals.
It helps me show up every day, work as much as I can mindfully (even if that’s a small step), and focus on the input over the output.
This way, you are still giving it 100% – of what you can give.
How much you work should never define your worth.
