EP271 What could be possible if you aimed for B+ work?

Angela Watson's Truth for Teachers

"Just do your best" is not always helpful advice for perfectionists, people-pleasers, and folks struggling with anxiety.

The phrase is meant to offer comfort, but can create pressure, because you know what your best looks like, and how much time and effort it involves!

The truth is: you can't possibly give your best effort to everything on your plate, and not everything you need to do deserves your best effort.

What if you only aimed for A+ work on the most important stuff in life and work, and aimed for B+ work in everything else?

You might be thinking, "This is an interesting concept, Angela, but my brain doesn't work that way. I can't give less than 100%."

This podcast episode will give you 5 things to remember in order to really internalize healthier expectations for yourself so that you can decide where to focus your time and energy.
