In this listener favorite episode, Laura dives into a topic that resonates with many of us—how to intentionally operate at 85% instead of striving for that elusive 100% all the time.

She explores the all-too-common pattern of high achievers pushing themselves to give their absolute best in every task, often at the expense of their well-being. Additionally, she discusses the hidden costs of perfectionism and how it can lead to burnout and disengagement.

Laura shares insights from a recent Wall Street Journal article that highlights the benefits of aiming for 85% productivity and provides practical steps to help you care less about the small details that drain your energy.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to perform perfectly, this episode is a must-listen! 
Tune in now and discover how operating at 85% can unlock new levels of energy, creativity, and fulfillment in your work and life.
