@SahilBloom @CoachDanGo Your post and this one side by side on the timeline. Turns out you’re probably right

People who spend five hours a week with their grandchildren have improved memory, but if they spend 20 hours, their memory is worse than their peers. What do you conclude?

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

An email from Coach Sommer I revisit often:

Hi Tim,

Patience. Far too soon to expect strength improvements. Strength improvements [for a movement like this] take a minimum of 6 weeks. Any perceived improvements prior to that are simply the result of improved synaptic facilitation. In plain English, the central nervous system simply became more efficient at that particular movement with practice. This is, however, not to be confused with actual strength gains.

Dealing with the temporary frustration of not making progress is an integral part of the path towards excellence. In fact, it is essential and something that every single elite athlete has had to learn to deal with. If the pursuit of excellence was easy, everyone would do it.

In fact, this impatience in dealing with frustration is the primary reason that most people fail to achieve their goals. Unreasonable expectations timewise, resulting in unnecessary frustration, due to a perceived feeling of failure. Achieving the extraordinary is not a linear process.

The secret is to show up, do the work, and go home.

A blue collar work ethic married to indomitable will. It is literally that simple. Nothing interferes. Nothing can sway you from your purpose. Once the decision is made, simply refuse to budge. Refuse to compromise.

And accept that quality long-term results require quality long-term focus. No emotion. No drama. No beating yourself up over small bumps in the road. Learn to enjoy and appreciate the process. This is especially important because you are going to spend far more time on the actual journey than with those all too brief moments of triumph at the end.

Certainly celebrate the moments of triumph when they occur. More importantly, learn from defeats when they happen. In fact, if you are not encountering defeat on a fairly regular basis, you are not trying hard enough. And absolutely refuse to accept less than your best.

Throw out a timeline. It will take what it takes.

If the commitment is to a long-term goal and not to a series of smaller intermediate goals, then only one decision needs to be made and adhered to. Clear, simple, straightforward. Much easier to maintain than having to make small decision after small decision to stay the course when dealing with each step along the way. This provides far too many opportunities to inadvertently drift from your chosen goal. The single decision is one of the most powerful tools in the toolbox.

@TravelGov @grok what’s happening in Mexico

[West Vegh @westvegh]

@pmarca @wabi @wabi build me an app to log my workouts. Use a free library for the exercises. I’m also injured (shoulder) so maybe something to implement that caters to those with nagging injuries.

[West Vegh @westvegh]

@TommyOKid @elonmusk @nickshirleyy @grok explain what’s going on

[West Vegh @westvegh]

@DielFactor @practicalgolf Will check those games out! And appreciate that, just launched it in the past couple weeks. Already have some small tweaks I’ll be making to the next version

[West Vegh @westvegh]

@DielFactor @practicalgolf That’s great. I think any form of documenting your practice just helps to amplify the learnings

[West Vegh @westvegh]

@Fit_For_Golf Do you have speed sessions where you use superspeed sticks, then speed sessions where you use driver? How do you balance those different sessions?
