My tactic is to maintain an average workload of about 70% of my potential, that way I’m relaxed and able to maintain my work on the bad days when I might not be 100% up to the task, plus I have the extra bandwidth for when SHTF so I can look like a hero. Apparently my 70% effort is more than enough because I’ve now had multiple bosses try to court me to return after I’ve left roles
I feel you. I got bored on the weekend, so now as a result, I’m way ahead on work for the week. The good thing is I can compensate by napping and playing games during work hours the rest of the week. And not a guilty thought at all.
Nah then I’m bored at work, and I hate being bored at work. 70% is the happy medium between not overextending myself and keeping myself busy and engaged enough to both enjoy my work and impress my superiors

Describing them as courting you is an excellent use of the word

Sounds like you need to take your competence down a few ticks. Be more relaxed.
