The 40 percent rule is simple. When your mind tells you that you’re exhausted, fried, and totally tapped out, you’re really only 40 percent done: You still have 60 percent left in your tank.
So why do we stop? In part, the problem lies with motivation: It’s hard to keep going indefinitely when your heart is pounding and your legs are screaming. So how do we achieve more when our mind and body say were done? Turn as long as you can into just five seconds or some other bite-sized measurable amount.
When “all” you have to do is do the best you can for a finite period of time, or one task at a time, then it’s much easier to find the energy and focus you need to be at your best.
