Six Keys to Being Excellent at Anything
Pursue what you love.
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, in intermittent doses.
Take regular renewal breaks. (..) It’s during rest that the right hemisphere becomes more dominant, which can lead to creative breakthroughs.
Ritualize practice.
