If you can get the job done in 20 hours but you are supposed to work 40, I think that’s more of the mindset the parent comment is talking about. Doing the minimum to keep your job and staying a good employee, while not overworking.


If you always give 100% you’ll burn out, and can never give more during a crises. If you default to 60%, you can burst to 100% when needed.


If you're a 10X slacker you can default to 6%.
