不管是学习、工作、家庭，我一直都努力想做到最好。
但是后来我意识到，尽管我投入了很多时间和精力，但我在这些事情上并没有取得很大的进步。我好像陷入了“无效地努力”的状态。
而且我身边很多人都跟我一样，这种情况可以说相当普遍。
不会组织语言的人说的：
I always want to do things best, like in my study, my work, and my family.
But then I realized even though I spent a lot of time and energy, but I still don't improve a lot. It seems like my effort is zero.
And I found many people around me have the same problem with me. This problem is really common.
存在问题：
1、I always want to do things best，最高级前面要加the，正确的表达应该是 I always want to do things the best
2、“even though”（尽管）和 “but”（但是）不能同时使用在一个句子中，这句话应该改为 “even though I spent a lot of time and energy, I still didn't improve a lot”
3、 It seems like my effort is zero. 这句话不太对，可以改成 It seems that my efforts are in vain，或者 I seemed to be caught in ineffective efforts. 我陷入了无效的努力之中。
4、整体句子比较简单，用词不够准确，信息也比较单薄

I've always been trying to do my best in whatever I do, whether it's studying, working or family matters. I feel that way and keep trying my best.
无论做什么事情，无论是学习、工作还是处理家庭事务，我一直都努力做到最好。我是这样想的，也会继续尽自己最大的努力。
But some time ago, I came to a realization that I seemed to be caught in ineffective efforts.
但在一段时间以前，我意识到自己似乎陷入了无效的努力之中。
I wasn't getting much better at the things I cared most about, whether it was being a husband or a friend or a professional or a teammate, and I wasn't improving much at those things even though I was spending a lot of time working hard at them.
对于那些我最在乎的事情，比如做一名好丈夫、好朋友、职场人士或是团队成员，我并没有取得太大的进步，而且尽管我在这些事情上投入了大量的时间和精力努力去做，却依旧没有多少提升。
I've since realized from conversations I've had and from research that this stagnation, despite hard work, turns out to be pretty common.
从那以后，通过我与他人的交谈以及相关研究，我认识到，这种尽管努力却停滞不前的情况其实相当普遍。
stagnation /stæɡˈneɪʃn/ n.停滞；不发展；无变化
