Great nuance, Evgeny. I was talking recently with someone about how stress is good for you in moderation, this is well known, it's how exercise works. But too much stress and it's becomes a net negative. In work, a deadline can help focus attention but if we lose the joy of the process and it becomes a chore, fear can disrupt our creative process and the work loses out.
Exactly. To use the exercise analogy, it won't do my any good if I try to lift more or run faster than I'm currently capable of. And sometimes the best thing I can do for my body is to rest and recover, not push myself more.

Such a great post Evgeny 👊
A very good post, Evgeny. The most important progress often happens when we stop forcing it too much 🚀 Excited for your first podcast on Wednesday
