Do it Right vs Do Your Best 13:27

Rethinking 'doing everything to the best of your ability' In this solo episode of Angst, Donnie explores the possibly destructive concept of 'doing everything to the best of your ability'. Discussing the pressure of hustle culture and the practical challenges of everyday life, he concludes that it leads to unnecessary stress and efforts. Using life situations such as setting up for Thanksgiving, he shows the detailed lengths one can go when trying to do everything 'to the best of one's ability'. In an attempt to combat this perspective, he replaces the well-known maxim with 'If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right', arguing that it gives a more balanced and achievable expectation. Donnie also muses on the importance of not neglecting our key relationships and job while striving for perfection in everyday tasks. The episode ends with Donnie admitting he misses co-host Stephanie and looks forward to her return next week. 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 00:25 The Stress of Perfectionism 01:56 The Thanksgiving Table Setting Story 04:51 The Problem with 'Doing Your Best' 05:35 A Better Approach: Doing It Right 08:36 The Importance of Prioritizing 10:27 The Impact on Self-Esteem 11:14 The Concept of 'Good Enough' 11:58 Closing Thoughts and Missing Stephanie Drink some water and take a walk! www.linkedin.com/in/donniedavis3 www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-davis-10x/…
