For the over achiever, #goinggalt is nonsense the more I think of it.
Every time I have been close to this I have focused my energy on some other form of self improvement. However as I approach a much later stage in life, I am wondering where to focus?

Going galt
Going Galt refers to a hypothetical scenario where individuals, typically high-achievers or productive members of society, decide to withdraw their efforts and contributions in response to perceived injustices, regulations, or societal pressures. This concept originates from Ayn Rand’s novel “Atlas Shrugged” (1957), where John Galt, a fictional character, leads a strike of the most productive members of society, refusing to work or contribute to a system they deem unfair.
Interpretations and Applications
Economic and Political: In this context, Going Galt means individuals, often entrepreneurs or business owners, stop producing or investing due to excessive taxation, regulations, or government interference, effectively “going underground” or abandoning their economic activities.
Organizational and Workplace: Going Galt can occur when employees, particularly high performers, become disillusioned with their work environment, management, or company policies, leading them to reduce their effort or productivity, effectively “opting out” of their responsibilities.
Personal and Philosophical: Going Galt can be seen as a form of protest or rebellion against societal norms, values, or expectations that individuals perceive as unjust or oppressive. It involves rejecting the notion of “self-sacrifice” and instead embracing individualism and personal freedom.
