Understanding What it Means to be a 'Higher Functioning' Individual #shorts

Frankly, if you're a consultant or if you're a banker or if you're a senior executive, this zone will be familiar to you. This is that zone. When we have overextended ourselves two, three, four weeks into a row or have gone seven days with three hours of sleep. I'm working on the midst of a deal. We think somehow through coffee and through sheer grit that we are kind of muscling our way through. We tough it out. That's what we do, right? But the reality is our performance is nowhere, by the way, also close to where we think we are. We are 30 to 40, 40% less thinking slower. We are not making the right decisions emotionally. We are less regulated. We are functioning as in, we're not dead. We're not like completely taking a break because we can't handle anything anymore. But it's that zone. And there's so many who find themselves because of the changing world in the zone right now.
