I really enjoyed reading this well written and well-researched post, and it's an excellent point you're making, effort doesn't always equal quality. But; as someone quite passionate about arts and crafts I have to voice the nuance of the handmade mark. It takes talent, but also sheer practice (effort) to get so good at one's art that it seems effortless. The efficient route would perhaps be 'let a machine do it', and there's a place for that. But there's also virtue in the path of effort, honing our skills until that what we do seems effortless 🙃
As someone who leans toward efficiency almost by instinct, I really felt this one. You’ve managed to break down a massive, tangled bias into something that feels both relatable and unsettling - even for those of us outside the productivity or fitness worlds. It’s rare to see the cultural and psychological layers laid out this clearly without losing the nuance. Loved it!
I always found it interesting how successful people justified their success. They speak of how hard they worked to accomplish what they have. Maybe they have. Maybe they haven't. It's as if they must prove their worthiness of success through suffering. I feel like it is socially encouraged to exhaust ourselves into success and when this doesn't take place we still try to convince others. we have done so. Thank you for sharing. 🦋💚

Fear comes from uncertainty; we can eliminate the fear within us when we know ourselves better. Bruce Lee
