Don't be a tyrant to yourself
Ease isn't laziness — it's strategy.
There’s this weird myth floating around:
If it doesn’t nearly destroy you, it doesn’t count.
If it felt “easy,” you must’ve missed something.
If it didn’t leave you gasping for air, you didn’t try hard enough.
Yeah… no.
This mindset? It’s how we quietly burn out.
We turn every simple task into a personal Olympics.
A podcast episode? Let me rerecord it 5 times because the energy didn’t “feel right.”
A basic email? Let me structure it like it’s a UN address.
A casual YouTube video? Let me treat it like a Christopher Nolan movie.
The bar’s not just high.
It’s levitating.
But here’s the truth:
You don’t get extra points for suffering.
In fact, the people who create the most, stay the longest, and grow the fastest?
They’re not dragging their souls through the mud every Tuesday.
They’re putting on their headphones, sipping their chai (or coffee), and treating the work like a vibe — not a war.
They’re applying the 80/20 rule religiously:
Focus your real effort on the 20% that actually matters.
The rest? Let it flow.
Good enough is not mediocrity — it’s momentum.
You're going to write dozens of articles.
Record hundreds of videos.
Launch a thousand experiments.
And if every one of them demands your emotional life savings, you’ll quit long before the rewards show up.
So please, don’t make every task your magnum opus.
Don’t be the boss who scares their own team (your brain).
Be the chill collaborator who gets sh*t done — and still has time for an afternoon walk.
Give yourself permission to do great things… easily.
What’s one thing you’ve been overcomplicating that actually deserves a simpler approach?
