listen to me, this is so so important: you've gotta get used to really giving it your 60% as a default. like don't half-ass it necessarily but try not to go over 70% or so of an ass. you'll feel better and live a happier more fulfilled life, and on the rare occasions where you do need to lock the fuck in you'll be able to pull off bullshit that the sad miserable wretches giving it their 100% can never dream of, because they're busy draining themselves dry and you have energy reserves to spare.
so i keep the notifications on this blog turned off but apparently this post got reblogged a lot while i wasn't looking and there are upsettingly many people in the notes saying things like "oh but my maximum is only 40%" so let me be incredibly fucking clear: this is a post about not working yourself to exhaustion and the importance of keeping some energy in reserve. if your maximum is """40%""" then that's not your fucking 40% then is it. that's your 100%. do 60% of that. if 40% is your 100% then you've gotta get used to really giving it your 24% as a default, or whatever.
don't work yourself to exhaustion! keep energy in reserve!! maybe unionise or something, i don't know!!! i'm not some magic wizard of knowing how to solve capitalism, i just made a post when i was kinda drunk and not thinking very hard and now people keep reblogging it and saying depressing things in the notes.
