Bill Gallagher argues we waste energy trying to excel at tasks that don't matter. Eating a bagged salad for lunch doesn't need to be high performing. Most everyday activities deserve minimal effort, not maximal.
You just brought up something really important, which is sort of specking what is the role of something in your life and performance have to do with that, that one can care about performance. And yet my example of this is, like, I eat a lot of bag salad for lunch. Like, on one hand, it fits my health goals, right? But, like, you basically dump it in the, in the bowl. And, like, could I create the, like, a much more amazing lunch for myself? I could. Would it take three times as long? Absolutely. Does it matter? Does that thing matter? Does it need to be higher performing? Yeah, it doesn't. Yeah, I need lunch. So, yeah, you and you want to make sure you're getting what you want out of the thing, but that doesn't mean you have to be on the podium for the triathlons.
