- 5. MVP Open Days 2016 Schwartz analyzes from every angle how people make choices.

Does this sound like you? M.V.P. – M Is For Being A Maximizer #CDNMVP M.V.P. – M Is For Being A Maximizer
- 6. MVP Open Days 2016 Challenge: We would be better off seeking what is "good enough" instead of seeking the best. But many of us are perfectionists or maximizers. M.V.P. – M Is For Being A Maximizer #CDNMVP M.V.P. – M Is For Being A Maximizer

M.V.P. – M Is For Being A Maximizer #CDNMVP M.V.P. – M Is For Being A Maximizer Tip 1: Choose when to choose. By restricting our options, we can choose less and feel better. Try this: 1. Review recent decisions you've made 2. Itemize steps, time, research, and anxiety that went into it 3. Remind yourself how it felt to do that work 4. Ask yourself how much your final decision benefitted from that work.

- 11. MVP Open Days 2016 Many people don’t understand how much work goes into creating something as simple as a blog post on a feature. The testing, the learning, the validation. We allow our unchecked optimism fuel our vision, but harness enthusiastic skepticism to drive our actions. #CDNMVP M.V.P. – V Is For Being A Verifier
- 12. MVP Open Days 2016 Challenge: It takes an incredible amount of effort to be a good skeptic, especially when we are so passionate. This sustained verification is one of the biggest things we do and takes considerable time. #CDNMVP M.V.P. – V Is For Being A Verifier
- 13. MVP Open Days 2016 Sometimes the verification itself is valuable or more valuable than the hard things we highlight workarounds for, or limits we expose. This verification in articles, forum posts, or scripts/code samples is just as important as the optimism that led us to writing about them. M.V.P. – M Is For Being A Maximizer #CDNMVP M.V.P. – V Is For Being A Verifier Tip 1: We should all enthusiastically tackle the hard things around MSFT products and share our failures as well as our successes. We learn from our failures, but maybe others can as well?

- 17. MVP Open Days 2016 Passion, all too often, can be consuming. It can fill our mind and attention. As a result we have an intimate relationship with the community we support, what happens in the community may have a very significant relationship with how you feel about yourself. M.V.P. – M Is For Being A Maximizer #CDNMVP M.V.P. – P Is For Being Passionate
- 18. MVP Open Days 2016 Challenge: Sometimes people don’t appreciate the things you do or we don’t meet expectations. We make mistakes. Lean into this and let it help you improve, but try to be aware when it’s constructive. M.V.P. – M Is For Being A Maximizer #CDNMVP M.V.P. – P Is For Being Passionate
- 19. MVP Open Days 2016 When we look at the origin of passion and where it stems from it is represented as "passiō" which means suffering and submission. When we refer to “the passion of Christ” we don’t mean that he was happy, but that he was suffering in a meaningful way. Passion without some challenge may not be passion worth pursuing. Tip 1: Come up with meaningful and attainable goals. M.V.P. – M Is For Being A Maximizer #CDNMVP M.V.P. – P Is For Being Passionate
- 20. MVP Open Days 2016 Burnout, in case you are not aware, is actually a lack of emotional attachment to what you are doing.

- Perfectionists have very high standards that they don't expect to meet, whereas maximizers do. Students given too many options of what to write an essay on : as they try to write about the topic they chose, they're further distracted by other appealing but rejected topics, preventing them from thinking clearly. The more options you have, the more likely you will experience regret. When asked about what they regret most, people name failures to act.

- Topics to discuss… Passion is wonderful but it has costs. Passion often means meaningful suffering. Passion and entropy/keeping passion alive.
- Think about it this way: When we pursue a passionate relationship in our personal life, the reality is that we become attached, obsessed or deeply invested in someone. In our personal life, if that relationship doesn’t work out, we find ourselves not meeting their expectations, or we perceive that the other party doesn't value our efforts we will feel a sense of loss, sadness, or may even feel devastated. When you are passionate about your work in the community, you run the risk of experiencing similar suffering. Think about your community work experience and all those times you felt disappointed that you couldn’t present a bit better, or when a colleague or peer is disappointed and feels you aren’t meeting their expectations. It can (and should) create similar feelings. That is why those who are passionate improve more; because it matters to them, sometimes intimately. Those who are passionate often work harder. These are big reasons why they are more successful.

- This description of passion is much closer to a genuine meaning of passionate work. It also better represents the challenges with how passion can be consuming and can have a very significant relationship with how we feel about ourselves. When people describe work that they are passionate about, we assume they mean work that makes them happy, but it should be about work that is meaningful, that makes us struggle through something, and that elevates us beyond our individual self-interest. In work, the term submission is also important as we often have to submit to and believe in the work we are doing to experience the happiness that comes from meaningful contribution. Passion at work opens the door to positive experiences that make us enthusiastic and happy, but also challenge us to our core. Often understanding this is critical, but so is accepting this.
- The term “burnout” is a relatively new term, first coined in 1974 by Herbert Freudenberger, in his book, “Burnout: The High Cost of High Achievement.” He originally defined ‘burnout’ as “the extinction of motivation or incentive, especially where one’s devotion to a cause or relationship fails to produce the desired results.
