TAKEAWAYS
1. Quiet Quitting isn't about actually quitting or being lazy. We're not glamorizing mediocrity here.

2. At the core, it's about establishing boundaries at work, but you need a more comprehensive approach if you're going to create the life you want.

3. Not everyone wants to be an "elite athlete" at work, so we don't need to expect everyone to operate in an elite way. In contrast, choosing to be "average" at work can create capacity for spending time and energy on what excites you.

4. It generally makes sense to "go hard" early in your career to establish a foothold (resume, financial security, etc.). Once you're 10+ years in, you have much more leeway to back off and prioritize lifestyle.

5. Quiet Quitting (or whatever term you use) is another tool in your toolbox. Deploy it wisely as you methodically create more freedom in your life.
