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
I feel you. I got bored on the weekend, so now as a result, I'm way ahead on work for the week. The good thing is I can compensate by napping and playing games during work hours the rest of the week. And not a guilty thought at all.
