Regularly incorporate rest into my productivity schedule. I’m in a marathon, not a race. How can I approach my goals in a sustainable way? This helps avoid burn out. Consistency > short bursts of insane hustle.
Also: producing imperfect results is okay. Necessary, even. I need to be selective about the battles I choose when I’m working on a project so I can complete each stage in a reasonable amount of time. Aspire for “good” results instead of “perfect”. There is always time on the back end to revise. Weirdly enough, this alleviation of pressure allows me to produce better results the first time around than I did when I was burdened with perfection.
