69  Outperform Without Overload

🧠 A new South Korean study reveals something startling: working more than 52 hours a week can actually change the structure of your brain.

The areas affected?  ➡️  Focus. Emotional regulation. Decision-making.

💡 At first, these changes might boost alertness and efficiency. But over time, your brain begins to adapt to chronic stress – leading to fatigue, irritability, and a drop in cognitive performance – exactly what you’re trying to avoid by working harder.

✅  Here’s the smarter strategy:

1️⃣  Work in alignment with your strengths
2️⃣  Adapt tasks to fit your natural cognitive style
3️⃣  Pursue goals that match what actually motivates you

✅  My Optimal Performance Strategy guides you through these steps – so you achieve more without burning out.

🚀  You get clarity, confidence, and long-term success. Output increases. Stress drops. Fulfilment rises.

🎯 Try this today:

🔹 Cancel one low-impact task.
🔹 Use that time for work that energises you instead.

Your brain will thank you.
