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