Habits of High Performance
One of my favorite quotes is Gustave Flaubert's, "Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work."
What Flaubert hinted not-so-subtlely on are daily routines. By "automating" part of your day, you enable the best to come out when needed. This means better work; this means more creativity; this means high performance.
Dr. Accurso is a doctor to top high performers around the world. In this episode, I picked his brain about the commonalities of all these people. Daily routines and habits are at the top of the list.
