I don't think "do your best" is synonymous with "try really hard" or "use as much energy as possible." Rather, the energy at your disposal is another factor that determines what your best can realistically be. If you have to save energy for something else later in the day, that affects what your best is for this task.
In music and art, doing your best often requires you to relax rather than getting super tense and tryharding.
I think this is where I'm landing on it, too. Thank you. ❤️
