My dear old dad....
"Work at a constant 80%. Never bother doing 100%. People who work at 100% will work great for a short while before they burn themselves out and can't keep going. Those who work at a constant 80% will produce good work all the time and never tire."

Very sound advice which I have taken too far. I now work at about 50% while he, the lier, works at about 400% and tires himself out all the bloody time. However he also plays at 400% by going sailing, motorbiking, kayaking and skiing where as I'm lucky if I get day trip holidays at any point through the year. Aah, the life of a procrastinator!
