Sustainable Performance
Table of Contents
Sustainable performance = a pace you can repeat next month and next year — not a sprint that trades tomorrow for today's heroics.
Example
Coffee gets you through one shift; sleep gets you through a career. The kitchen ran Friday pace five nights straight and quality slid by Wednesday - sustainable performance would've cut a night off instead of mortgaging next week's tickets.
