Nuggets From Peak Performance - Brad Stulberg & Steve Magness

Regis Nisengwe -

Peak Performance by Brad Stulberg & Steve Magness:

    • It isn't experience that sets top performers apart but the amount of deliberate practice they put in.
    • The real secret of world-class performers is not the daily routines that they develop, but that they stick to them. That they show up, even when they don’t feel like it.
    • Apply the components of perfect practice each time you set out to do meaningful work:
      • Define a purpose and concrete objectives for each working session.
      • Ask yourself: What do I want to learn or get done?
      • Focus and concentrate deeply, even if doing so isn’t always enjoyable.
      • Single-task: The next time you feel like multitasking, remind yourself that research shows it’s not effective.
