NOTE

Maximize Life Instead of Just Optimize

Viewing oneself as a maximizer rather than an optimizer emphasizes a deeper engagement with life over mere efficiency. Optimizers focus excessively on refining every aspect of life, often resulting in rigid routines that prioritize duration over experience, ultimately sacrificing quality for the hope of longevity. Maximizers, on the other hand, seek to achieve impactful experiences and results, prioritizing effectiveness and fulfillment. Recognizing when to maximize or optimize is crucial; there are times suited for active engagement and purpose-driven actions, as well as periods where efficiency is beneficial. This duality reflects different approaches to life, training, and personal development, where maximizing signifies striving for the greatest value and optimizing relates to enhancing efficiency for better returns.
