I have probably tried more crazy ideas over the years to try to improve my performance than I can even remember. Most of them were fads of the moment and never produced any lasting change. I have found though the repeated use of less than a handful of daily disciplines has proven to be the foundation of any lasting momentum. John Maxwell has a list that you need to read:
“Everyone wants to be thin, but no one wants to diet. Everybody wants money, but not many people want to work long hours or to follow a budget. Lots of people would like a nice yard or garden, but few want to pull weeds.”
