I don& #39;t know who needs to hear this (me lol) but you are not defined by your performance and the ridiculously high standards and unrealistic expectations you set for yourself.

Whenever I talk about performance psychology or productivity, some people interpret it as me forcing a toxic Silicon Valley 100hrs/week mentality onto others, and think it& #39;s about money.

Exhibit A: https://twitter.com/kim_crawley/status/1308510571654938627?s=19">https://twitter.com/kim_crawl...

Some people find joy in the feeling of productivity, others obsess about it and can& #39;t control it even when it gets unhealthy (me lol). There& #39;s a spectrum for everything.

For me, it& #39;s not about money or glorifying "toxic Silicon Valley standards". It& #39;s me.

I don& #39;t endorse the 100h work-week "grind until ur a millionaire" mentality. It sets unhealthy expectations.

But not everyone is a "bootlicker" motivated by other people& #39;s expectations. Some people are just overly driven and have issues controlling the critic in their own head.
