Where has your effort become expensive?

🔥

I've been thinking about the point where effort and gain stop moving together.

It's pretty easy for me to work harder. More preparation, more care, more repetition. Many of us have subscribed to this thinking. Sometimes it gets us somewhere.

And sometimes the effort starts slowing us down and costing more than it gives back.

That cost is interesting, isn't it? I found my use of time and attention became expensive to me because they hampered, rather than nurtured, the very relationships that were most important.

Where has your effort become expensive?

Time? Attention? Judgment Opportunity? Influence Relationships,? Quality of life? Somewhere else?
