This is a collection of the content I found most interesting in the past week: articles, quotes, videos, divided by macro categories.
Learning a skill, mastering an activity, becoming great at some discipline, all require deep, purposeful, consistent practice over the long run.
That’s deliberate practice. Working a lot on developing specific skills. Which is different from merely working a lot (many hours). Deliberate practice has purpose and intentionality.
The one percent rule states that by focusing on making small, intentional improvements over a long period of time, results compound and the increase in the area of focus is exponential.
Success is a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.

There is a critical mistake we make when it comes to setting goals, according to James Clear in this article: we set deadlines but not schedules. We focus on the end goal but not on the process. The author, therefore, offers a more appropriate solution to achieving objectives: focus on the practice, not the performance and set a schedule, not a deadline.
If you want to be the type of person who accomplishes things on a consistent basis, then give yourself a schedule to follow, not a deadline to race toward.
A discussion about the book 'The Elephant in the Brain', which is all about how 'hidden motives' dominate our life choices and the way we behave. Definitely worth a listen.
