Six Keys to Being Excellent in Anything
Many people rely on the durable
myth that individuals are born with
special talents and gifts.
They believe in genetic
inheritance.

books which powerfully challenge
that idea.

science of high performance that
helps people out to increase their
capacity physically, emotionally,

Six Keys to Being Excellent in AnythingTip 01 – Pursue what you love
We all move instinctively toward
pleasure and away from pain.
Most great performers take on the
difficult work of practice in the mornings,
before they do anything else.
That's when most of us have the most
energy and the fewest distractions.
Six Keys to Being Excellent in AnythingTip 02 – Do the hardest work first
Practice intensely, without interruption for short
periods of no longer than 90 minutes and then
take a break.
Ninety minutes appears to be the maximum
amount of time that we can bring the highest
level of focus to any given activity.
The evidence is equally strong that great
performers practice no more than 4 ½ hours a
day.

Seek expert feedback.
The simpler and more precise the
feedback, the better.you are to make
adjustments.
Too much feedback, too continuously
can create cognitive overload,
increase anxiety, and interfere with
learning.

creative breakthroughs.
