The temptation
for business builders
is to work 24/7 forever,
pushing ourselves
to the limit.
That might appear
to be optimal
but it isn’t.
We’ll burn out.
We’ll make mistakes
because we’re tired.
Creativity will plummet
to nothing.
That’s not optimal.
“Systems have
an optimum level
of performance.
It’s the output
that permits the elements
(including the humans)
to do their best work,
to persist at it,
to avoid disasters,
bad decisions
and burnout.”
Optimal performance
rarely means
performing ALL the time.
Find your sweet spot.
