Wholehearted performance checklist
| |
| "The antidote to exhaustion is not rest; the antidote to exhaustion is ...
... wholeheartedness"
- David Whyte
We perform at our finest when we are wholly engaged. Whether we are working or playing tennis, we achieve our best (with least effort) when we are fully focused on what we are doing, when we enjoy the task in hand without stress.
Yet this engagement can often be missing. For example, our tendency to constantly evaluate ourselves may get in the way. So does our fear of "getting it wrong". For many successful professionals, boredom can be a big distraction)

I've been thinking about this a lot the past couple of weeks, because I've taken the opportunity, for the first time in many years, to play tennis nearly every day. My game has gotten progressively stronger. I've had a number of rapturous moments during which I've played like the player I long to be.
And almost certainly could be, even though I'm 58 years old. Until recently, I never believed that was possible.

The Inner Game
| |
| In 1971 Tim Gallwey, founder of the Inner Game, was working as a tennis coach. Having captained the tennis team at Harvard, he was on sabbatical before finding a serious job. One day he noticed that when he left the court briefly, a student who had been stuck with a technical problem had improved, without his help, by the time he returned. He began to realise that people could teach themselves better while working alone than when being given conventional sports instruction by a coach. |

You Take Golf Lessons -- So Why Not Strategy Lessons?
| |
| People tend to assume that strategic thinking comes naturally, but nothing could be further from the truth. Strategy only looks easy with hindsight. So, just as you'd take lessons in golf or tennis, you should seek to actively educate and train yourself to think more strategically. |
