KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The concept of balance is a really important one.
• You can find you are out of balance if you are working extremely hard at a task and as a result, you feel jaded and are not as effective as you want to be.
• If you step back from the task you are able to come back and tackle the task with more consistency and focus because you have been able to redress the balance.
• When you put increasing effort into achieving specific goals it can be detrimental to other areas in your life.
• As a professional, you need to have a balance between having good communication and people skills along with being great at what you do.
• It is possible to joint venture and work with others who are good at the things you are not or don't enjoy, this balance allows you to continue.
• In sport and in our lives it is vital to achieve the correct balance of discipline and freedom.
• In a world that has many distractions being disciplined is more important than it has ever been if we want to achieve our goals.
• Being able to maintain a focus when there are multiple distractions requires more discipline.
• The rituals and routines that we undertake are continually challenged because of the messy world we live in.
• It is necessary to have the discipline to maintain a routine consistently, but you must also be prepared to be flexible due to the external and environmental factors which can disrupt any routine.
• Create more than one routine or schedule so if environmental factors prevent you from undertaking one routine you can quickly adapt and move to another of your schedules.
• Having the ability to adapt is key so that the harmony and rhythm of your day are not thrown off balance.
