I think in the past I’ve thought that doing your best sim­ply meant giv­ing full effort to a task. That com­plete­ly neglects the use of judg­ment in the process. Just fol­low­ing the first would mean that you would sprint a marathon, run as fast as pos­si­ble the entire way; full effort, not much judg­ment. I prob­a­bly need to start con­scious­ly exer­cis­ing my judg­ment and inte­grat­ing it into what I mean when I do my best.
