Optimizing Stress for Better Performance
Stress exists on a spectrum, and both too little stress and too much stress can have detrimental effects on performance. The Jirks-Dodson law illustrates that stress and performance are positively correlated up to a certain point, after which more stress decreases performance. Mapping your own stress performance curve can help you identify optimal stress levels for different activities. By logging stress levels and performance outcomes, you can identify trends and create a mental map of your curve. This awareness enables you to optimize your stress response for better performance.
