1 percent improvement

Biggest barrier of success is not failure, it is boredom. Boredom thrashes out discipline, motivation and grit.

People throw away consistency for new, good and different things. The more you entertain sense of boredom, more you move away from what you want. Do not allow your mind to wander away with the excuse of boredom.

Falling in love with boredom is a function of two variables:

1. Increasing your proficiency at the task

2. Falling in love with the result of the task rather than the task itself

If you can make these variables constant, your power of patience comes into play.

You don’t need to reinvent the fundamentals. You need to commit to them. Do more of what already works.
