In this candid monologue, Shanli Liu reflects on how she has improved her ability to work for extended periods without needing frequent breaks. She describes the natural dip in output that occurs after a short break, but emphasizes that with practice—specifically by pushing herself to the point of fatigue—she can train a “muscle” that lets her power through those low‑energy moments. The core message is that endurance at work is not innate; it is built through repeated exposure to fatigue and the deliberate decision to keep going, turning the act of working hard into a skill that can be strengthened over time.

You know when you work and you're like, man, I feel like I like need a break. The better and better that I've gotten at working is that I can like kind of like whip my head back in and be like, confront, keep going. And I'm like, oh, all right, I'm going to keep going. And then you kind of realize that there's like a 5-minute, sometimes 15-minute period where like your output slows a little bit, but then you catch the next draft and then you're in again. And then 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours more pass. And I'm like, oh, I actually finished everything that I said I was going to do. That muscle of doing that takes practice. And the only opportunity that you get to flex that muscle, to practice it, is to work yourself to the point of fatigue and then being able to be like, no, I can power through this. And the thing is, is you can, you can power through it. It just takes practice, and practice takes repetition.
