Routine

​One of the best things you can do for yourself is get into a routine. I do this thing at this time on these days. Taking the thinking out of tasks you need or want to perform makes them so much easier. It’s not a matter of do I want to do this thing, it’s on this day I do this whether I want to or not. Obviously, you need to give yourself grace for extenuating circumstances (sickness, work running over) but I’m tired, I don’t feel like it, I’ll do it tomorrow, doesn’t exist in routine. These things get done with almost no regard for anything else, and that is how you begin to move forward. Routine by definition will create incremental progress and that’s a very good thing for a grappler.
