I personaly only put 20% effort into 80% of everything. Getting in the Pain region of “how hard you try” should only be done when you know the effort is worth it.
It seems that getting into pain is not the problem. Rather contrary, i think knowing that the pain was worth it and one has achieved something incredible is fundametaly positive. At least for me.
The problem seem, that people are constantly in pain for things they shouldnt be. Family, kids, jobs, hobbies, looking attractive, studying for best grades,… they want to reach 100% in all areas. Which is per definition not possible when your scale are the performances of others.
Putting 20% effort into as many areas in live as possible, with selected bursts of maximum effort, seem to be at least for me the better strategy to be happy.
