I think there's a similar effect in school - I realized in college that in many of my classes, it was not hard to get a B, but significantly more work to get an A. So lowering my effort level and aiming directly for a B in a class or two significantly decreased my stress levels over the semester, freed up time for extracurriculars, etc.
