Driving a car you must make constant choices about what to do.
Speed it up. Slow it down.
Turn here. Turn there.
But a train on the rails, well, it’s all locked in from here.
You just need to keep it moving and the rails lead you where you’re meant to go.
This is what I mean by putting it on the rails.
Take the thinking out of it
And just get doing.
Where do you get stuck in driving your goals?
Ultimately, in all the thinking that gets in the way of doing what you know you want to get done!
I’ve seen this is the method to top performance in basically every pursuit.
You might be watching a boxer stand around talking about stuff, and then they just get moving.
Jumping rope.
Shadow boxing.
It’s those small actions that pull their mind into what they’re doing right now.
Some boxers even need to get hit a few times before their brain really pulls into gear.
But once it does, they’re very hard to stop from here.
