Justin Jackson applied this principle beyond dieting to his work and found enormous benefits.
Many of us eat and work to capacity (if not to over-capacity).
I was firing on all cylinders.
Spinning all these plates in the air.
The world was my oyster!
And it all worked fine until… You see, I had no reserves.
The problem with being maxed out is you’ve got the option to’t deal with anything new.
I couldn’t fit anything else in.
I’d squeezed my schedule, my finances, my energy, and my family to the absolute limit.
And then a crisis: the business I’d invested in went bad
.
I experienced depression for the first time in my life.
It’s a state of being mindful.
I try not to overstimulate my brain: I pick 2-3 big things to accomplish a day.
After that, I focus on little things that don’t require as much energy.
