I was an extremely high performer at my last firm, when I joined my new firm I was plenty excited and wanted to overachieve so I set time up with my counselor and said I wanted to go for early promotion.

Months later, I realized now I just want to coast and put my effort towards other things but my counselor is still recommending me do this and that, staying ontop of my utilization to make sure it exceeds standards, etc.. how do I tell them idgaf anymore lol

What’s a counselor?

where do you work, maybe you call them coaches?

BCG1 is right. I'd also think about why you don't gaf anymore. If you don't think you have a fair shot at early promo, or there isn't enough reward to justify overachieving and that's demotivating, then maybe that's something you can talk about with your counselor.

I want to put my extra time towards personal hobbies I’ve fallen in love with and my mindset has shifted overall to being more present and enjoy the current vs trying to achieve and prepare for the future

Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible.
