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.

In this episode of Angst we recap a few topics covered previously and discuss a new book (to us) that is illuminating to say the least.

Anxiety Rx by Dr. Russell Kennedy is a perfect recommendation for our listeners. 

So far, the biggest takeaway is that anxiety is actually stored in the body as well as the mind.
