Writing about operating state, capacity, and why capable people underperform. ex-athlete, ex-sales

The fastest way to become disciplined might be to become a non-negotiator.

Needing discipline often implies a gap between where you are and what you’re capable of.

A capacity gap. Managing that gap spends energy.

Being someone who doesn’t negotiate, and just does what’s beneficial, saves you any thought about discipline, motivation and willpower.

The more you save yourself from decision fatigue, the more energy you can put into taking action.

@KevinFengX The best balance is implementing habits that make ’doing the work’ less of a battle and more of something you just do, because you feel like it and it doesn’t require a constant battle

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@cst_william It’s weird. I’ve noticed it in myself. I think the brain just works this way. Gotta outsmart it

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@CoachDanGo And do hard cardio to regain energy and mental clarity.

I love walks and the gym, but nothing comes close to a hard run.

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@MikeTheElite Yeah same. I mostly post whenever. I often post spontaneous thoughts on the bounce

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@raw_ideass My man. It’s weird

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

Starting has never been easier. Starting has never been harder either.

Why is that?

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@Humanoholic Same with everyday life. Can’t walk around thinking we’re right all the time. Ego limits, humility expands

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@Sarahub_it I like it early because it raises the whole floor for the day. But it varies. The best workout is the one who gets done

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@MrResultss It’s so lovely when high leverage stuff almost happens on autopilot, not needing any force

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@nicholas4uu Yeah, and more importantly, you need an evening that doesn’t make a morning routine a rescue for waking up foggy

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

The discipline culture is ironic.

We build lifestyles that drains us. Then we need discipline to overcome the state those lifestyles created. Discipline for things that shouldn’t need discipline.

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@tirthaexe Love that! Feels like it makes you quite stable, that’s what we like

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@tirthaexe Do you have it?

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@harveyakinlabi Could you elaborate on that man

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@Brownkingsage1 What do you mean mate?

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@melanybrita Love this. Because when you feel aligned and enjoy what you do, you just do

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@MoneyTalksTwt Yeah, you either just do what’s beneficial, or you spend the day deciding

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@khan_neba Wise words. That’s where ego limits and humility expands

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@guillembaches The urge to continue with comfort is so strong that we default to it. We need to outsmart our brain

[Conrad @ConradCapacity]

@MoneySpeaki Yeah no wonder things require discipline if you’re operating at 70% of your capacity every day
