this is something I've been trying to understand for a while

What does it mean to "do your best"?

Are you legitimately always trying to do your best, or are you often titrating your effort based on your internal reserves?

What does "your best" mean to you?

earnest effort with the goal of achieving

Yeah. For ages, I thought "do your best" was "literally kill yourself in service of this goal you promised to do" be it doing the dishes or homework, which meant I pretty much never bothered.
