My managers gave me about 20 – 40 pieces of advice…

My Plan#1 — follow 20% of their advice — the simple ones — and ….

However, Just to maintain my current level of productivity (which is below their expectation), I need to push myself to my max which is barely below self-torture. This so-called 80% level is still a painful workload though.

Now, to follow their simple advice, i need to follow up more, write more careful emails, do more professional documentation … requiring an x% additional effort. Remember 80% was already my max… Once I start my Plan #1 some managers will probably complain about my productivity drop, but I know what i have to do — i will tell them “i already gave my best shot.”
