"You’re more likely to unlock a big leap in performance by trying differently than by trying harder. You might be able to work 10% harder, but a different approach might work 10x better. Remain focused on the core problem, but explore a new line of attack. Persistence is not just about effort, but also strategy. Don’t merely try harder, try differently." — James Clear — — — #JamesClear #quote #quotes #hard #different #differently #focus #harder #working #struggle #efficient

Starting from last month, I've decided to follow #JamesClear's #AtomicHabits habit tracker to build new habits. Two habits that I've made since then: eat breakfast and reading.
Unfortunately I still had no will to start working out 😕

From #JamesClear's excellent 3-2-1 Newsletter:

"We want solutions, but what we really need are attitudes.

You don't need abs, but rather an attitude of training. You don't need the answer, but rather an attitude of curiosity. You don't need an easier life, but rather an attitude of perseverance.

Attitude precedes outcome."

From this week’s #JamesClear newsletter👇🏽

Helen Keller, who became the first deaf and blind person in the United States to earn a college degree, on perseverance:

"A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships."

From James Clear’s newsletter:

“Sometimes all you need for exceptional results is average effort repeated for an above-average amount of time."

Here’s to an average work week, where the only thing above-average you do is the effectiveness behind your time allocation 🍻

The Courage for Course Corrections
"Many people feel they are powerless to do anything effective with their lives. It takes courage to break out of the settled mold, but most find conformity more comfortable. This is why the opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it's conformity." — Rollo May (via Poetic Ou

“One of the most critical skills in life—and yet never taught in school—is choosing where to direct your attention.

After graduation, the valedictorian will often get lapped by “average” people who better invest their time.”

“The edge is in the inputs.

The person who consumes from better sources, gets better thoughts. The person who asks better questions, gets better answers. The person who builds better habits, gets better results.

It’s not the outcomes. It’s the inputs.”

Lead by example…

“Leadership begins with your behavior.

What’s more powerful? A manager or coach or teacher who tells you the right thing to do? Or one who shows you how to live and work by example?

People gravitate toward the standard you set, not the standard you request.”
