I will begin doing exercises today. Again, I will follow the 3 phase 90 day approach. Develop the habit first, using the quick stat method of experiencing wins and remaining motivated. This phase is about the doing of something new that is not challenging, only pleasurable and rewarding. Some activities will need to have the instant gratification experienced indirectly through tracking or journal using game. But the idea is to develop the habit of doing the new activity consistently and repetitively without experiencing consequences of failure or perceiving failure. The success is I. The doing only. That is the measurement of success in the quick start phase.
Conditioning will be next. It prepares of for training or deep practice. That is that last phase I. Which we operate at the edge of our abilities to push beyond perceived limits. These limits are overcome with a specific method of isolated step by step approach to repeat an activity until that step is mastered before moving forward. 4 weeks ago
It was worth reading, but talent us over rated is a lot better. This book stated that material in the brain continues to grow when we make and learn from mistakes by repetition. I had already surmised that you should make a mistake everyday. Meaning that reputation allows us to get better. The trick is to have a plan designed to practice in our fields of expertise
How this relates to the mundane millionaire, is that instead of fretting that we missed our window. Embrace a field and apply deliberate practice to make the transition and achieve excellence. These books will be great for patenting decisions. 1 month ago

I guess this is part of these type of books that’s a standard. Half of the book is filled with the Horatio Alger stories, that say if they can do it, so can you. Here is how they did it, wasn’t that neat.
Personally, I don’t like too much of that, but I’m seeing a pattern in these books to follow. Part of the book needs to include these stories or interviews from these people that used to be just like everyone else, but no longer are because they followed this magic path that’s totally duplicable. 2 months ago
About practicing.
It says to praise kids efforts of struggle not innate intelligence. This causes them to work harder and stay motivated. Affirm the struggle. Praise effort.
Examples: wow, you really tried hard
Good, job
Empty praise: you’re the best.
Only offer praise when it’s earned 2 months ago
