Streamlining your routines is the key. It’s the difference between random results and more consistent success.

You have to keep streamlining your routines until they get better. People might have a tendency to be more effective because perhaps they are better listeners or have better stamina, but no one is born effective. It is learned behavior. Effectiveness IS a habit.

It's making me revisit to figure out if I like certain things because I'm good at them, or if I'm good at certain things because I like them. Hey Barbara

Oh, so true. It’s making me revisit to figure out if I like certain things because I’m good at them, or if I’m good at certain things because I like them.

D. <br/><br/>I like that, "Practice will lead to competence, but not necessarily mastery." There's a lot of truth in those words. I think it's something we see all of the time, often in children. Parents will stress practice, practice, practice, and even though the child can "do it", they may never perfect it. <br/><br/>I'm guessing passion needs to be part of that equation. Hi J. D.
