16. I think I stole this one from @TimFerrissQuote, (sorry Tim!): no screens for two hours after you wake up. It’s amazing how much more sure-footed one feels this way, (especially if you use this time to get outside and exercise). #waysmyobjectivecanbeimproved


15. Ask yourself: “How can I please my future self?” Or “Will my future self be happy with me here?” #waysmyobjectivecanbeimproved


14. Negative visualization, and “this may well be the last time I…” thought exercises can help. Eg. This could be the last time I walk under my own steam, talk to this person… #waysmyobjectivecanbeimproved


13. “Gap theory”: we want to fill the gap between what we have and what we want. Turn it on itself by wanting what you already have. “It’s so freakin’ awesome that I have two strong legs!” #waysmyobjectivecanbeimproved


12. Focus on this moment. You will never have it again. How can we make it better? #waysmyobjectivecanbeimproved


11. Results are consumables. Mastery is a state. The former, positive or negative, are just data points along the way to the latter. #waysmyobjectivecanbeimproved


10/ Focus on what is most important - do something worthwhile everyday. #waysmyobjectivecanbeimproved


9. Remind yourself that from the perspective of your consciousness, only that which is in front of you seems real & urgent & given that there have been millions of such events in the past & that they are gone, so too will this. This too, shall pass. #waysmyobjectivecanbeimproved


8. Try to observe yourself from the 3rd person to gain perspective (and to fire the prefrontal cortex over the hypothalamus - the brain’s warning system). “Why is Rob is feeling anxious? What is the “question behind the question?” #waysmyobjectivecanbeimproved


Look to find the passion in what you are doing - get involved, find what is compelling and why it’ll be good to something and do it well. If you can’t find it, do something else. Life is too short for mediocrity. #waysmyobjectivecanbeimproved


6. Risk can be difficult to assess as the future is uncertain - trust your gut. #waysmyobjectivecanbeimproved


4. Focus on the breath. (Focusing on you breathing for just 30 seconds is an easy "hack' to break out of a thinking trap). #waysmyobjectivecanbeimproved


3. Build the plan. Work the plan. #waysmyobjectivecanbeimproved


2. Know things will be difficult, get in your way, delay you and hold you back. Remember you control your reaction, not the events. Staying cool builds confidence and determination. #waysmyobjectivecanbeimproved


A while back I started recording ways to improve how I reached my objectives in the form of a list. Here's no.1: Do a little every day.


📷 You know how every video of custom motorcycle guys start with the big plume from an oxy torch or a hail of sparks from grinding? Grinding, yes! More grinding! Must have pretty sparks! Well that’s not always what it looks like. #caferacer... tmblr.co/ZvhsNycUeE3QSu…
