@VonArens Thanks we'll look at that!

I believe in working very hard when you're trying to do something special. But after a certain amount of effort, willpower is irrelevant. Like an exhausted muscle, the brain just stops working well. I look at the screen and... nothing comes to mind. /1

The fatigue is task-specific. Each task has its own gas tank, and burns its tank at its own rate. There's also a universal limit. After years of self-observation, I even know how long I can do specific tasks... /2

On a good day I can do: - Gaming 10 hours - Coding 7 hours - Reading (interesting book) 5 hours - Paperwork 5 hours - Game design 4.5 hours - Reading (difficult book) 3 hours - Article/book writing 3 hours - Article/book editing 2.5 hours /3

If I switch tasks, I can do about 1.5-2 of those entire things before the whole brain is too tired. So if I max out 2 tasks, I can't even do gaming afterwards! I have to fall back to really low-brain activities like feed-scrolling. I hate this feeling of mental incapacity. /4

I think these daily limits highlight what working hard really means in practice: 1. Being consistent through many days and years, not short-term intense effort. 2. Allocating effort on the tasks that best move you towards the goal, not on the tasks you enjoy working on. /5
