Brag less about long hours and more about steady ones. Steady is harder to fake.

Long hours are easy to perform and easy to exaggerate, and they often mean the work started too late. Steady hours are harder, because they ask you to turn up on an ordinary Tuesday when nothing is urgent, and nobody can fake a month of that. The second kind compounds while the first mostly costs you sleep. One is a story and the other is a record.

Stop counting your biggest day and start counting consecutive ones. Pick a modest daily amount you could hit on a bad day and hold it for three weeks. Let that number be the thing you are quietly proud of.
