When you prepare a lot for an engagement but it goes easier than expected, you may feel a little disappointed with how you applied yourself.
Did all your preparation go to waste?
Did you misjudge the significance of the engagement?
Should you have spent less time preparing and more time on other tasks?
Before feeling down on yourself, appreciate that there were countless ways the engagement could have unfolded. And because of your preparation you would have been well positioned to handle many different scenarios.
So rather than feeling like you were over-prepared, appreciate that you were sufficiently prepared for that engagement.
