They view it as an annoying chore to minimize but recognize that at their level of output, the minimum necessary just to function is higher than many losers idea of maximal. They are not obsessive or exhibitionist about it. Nor PR strivers. They hire coaches to obsess.

It depends on minimum threshold of 'highly effective'. If I count as one--then I do my own light obsession.

I consider myself a good judge of highly effective. It's a fairly narrow zone and not really subjective. If you're on this thread, I doubt you are.

What are the metrics? At least something to work towards.

There are no metrics. It's mainly about learning the limits of your own body, and situation awareness of when/where your main work causes you to hit a bodily limit, and working on that bottleneck. Metrics are for athletes and body fetishists.

For 'highly functional'. I'm a national level strength athlete, I'm pretty familiar with all of the above physicality wise.

Ah if you're an athlete, normal considerations don't apply. I understood the original question to be about people whose domain where they need to be highly effective is something other than athletic performance.

No, I'm a business analyst/moving into PM. Being a strength athlete is a <5 hour a week hobby.

Didn't want to go pro as an athlete? :D If fitness is a ~5-hour-a-week hobby for you, and you know what you're doing there, it almost certainly isn't likely to be your life effectiveness bottleneck except as a potential overinvestment risk.

Oh, I know what my bottlenecks are. Is the definition of 'highly effective' here 'Someone who has broken through all bottlenecks in their control'?

You can never break through all bottlenecks. There's always a next bottleneck. It's somebody who has taken charge of the ongoing process of identifying and removing bottlenecks as and when they appear and choke performance.
