Chad Silverstein delivers a short spoken reflection urging viewers to recognize personal limits: identify areas where you’re overexerting, ask close truth-tellers (kids, spouse, friends) for candid feedback, and deliberately schedule unproductive time to avoid chronic overwork. The piece balances encouragement to push when appropriate with advice to pull back the throttle when needed.

So it was just a few days ago when we said we want to find an area in our life where we want to attack and we want to go. And so now let's pull back, throttle. Find an area of our life where we need to. We need to step back. Where are you pushing too hard? Where are you? Where's the throttle? Just in a. In a gear that it shouldn't be in. And who and how is it impacting your life? And all you need is a couple of truth tellers. And you can start with your kids, you can start with your spouse. You could start with anyone who's in your life that's close and knows who you are and ask them for some hard truth. Where do they think that you're a little too obsessive, too intense, where you need to back off, where you spend too much time, more than you need to. And are you getting the results that you want to get because you're putting more time in. A lot of times you're not. But again, knowing your limits and knowing when to push and attack and take a chance and take a leap, and knowing when to pull back the throttle. Take it easy. I used to have a productive action to be unproductive. I had to do it because I love to work, and I never feel like I'm getting enough done. So I have to build into my schedule time to be unproductive, and you have to as well. So figure out where you need to pull back and do it.
