Notes on Effort

2022-05-07

Tired today, so some early notes on a theme:

what does it mean to work hard at something?
when is effort wasted?
to what extent does maximum effort work with existing talent?
how do you exert effort without overwork?
what does maximum effort feel like in intellectual domains?
what is the relationship between effort and joy?
what are the side effects of maximum exertion for a long period of time?
what are effective ways of resting?
