The greatest obstacle to success...boredom

  • We get so bored doing the training and repetitive tasks needed to succeed that we often derail ourselves out of a desire for something new or fresh
  • Shiny object syndrome is a killer for this reason, because the new shiny thing looks much more enticing than the same routine or task we have been doing over and over
  • Once we get into a groove, like going to the gym a few days in a row, it’s easy to justify missing one or eating a cheeseburger as not a big deal, thus shaking up the routine in a bad way and derailing our progress
  • Whoever can put up with the boredom the most wins

    • This idea came from Atomic Habits: Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results by James Clear.
