Bare Minimum
When you can no longer distinguish between doing the bare minimum vs. level of personal efforts. When you know, reading all the assigned reading materials (books, codals, reviewers and cases) and of course making reviewers and re-reading it all over again to understand each and every aspect. But even these things, I fail to satisfy all these due to work demands and I have other subjects not just one.
To add there, I needed to refresh everyday because of toxic work environment....
Showing up isn’t enough, and turning in tasks isn’t enough. How do you keep the quality of your work when everything is so demanding?
When you set the bare minimum for yourself, sometimes you end up being too hard on yourself and lowballing yourself every time.
I’ve forgotten that these are probably all mechanical acts; manifestations of inner workings. I should probably stop thinking in terms of bare minimums and personal effort, because at the end of the day there will be times when you’re bound by your own limitations, and other people’s expectations are beyond your control.
Maybe acting according to conscience and persevering through difficulties will never feel like enough… but the important thing is that you continue.
Perhaps I’m still in my hard-times era… "suffering after suffering"… trying not to succumb to it but ending up succumbing to pain a lot of times… this constant push-and-pull kind of reaction.
