pleasure and away from pain.

difficult work of practice in the mornings,

before they do anything else.

energy and the fewest distractions.

periods of no longer than 90 minutes and then

take a break.

amount of time that we can bring the highest

level of focus to any given activity.

The evidence is equally strong that great

performers practice no more than 4 ½ hours a

day.

The simpler and more precise the

feedback, the better.you are to make

adjustments.

can create cognitive overload,

increase anxiety, and interfere with

learning.

creative breakthroughs.
