Brian Johnson argues that stopping repeated mistakes matters more than adding new habits. Identify the behaviors draining your energy across work, love, and personal life, then eliminate them. The quickest path to improvement is removing what consistently holds you back.
The fastest way to improve in chess is to stop making the mistakes you're consistently making. If you can remove those mistakes, you will accelerate your, your improvement. Now, of course, you do other things, but if you're consistently making the same mistakes and you don't fix those, you will have a very difficult time getting better. Applying this wisdom to your life, my question for you is this: are you making mistakes in your life consistently? And let's focus on energy, work, and love. Simplify. We all make mistakes all the time. There are no perfect human beings, but we want to identify— look at yesterday, or look at some of your worst days, or look at some of your worst periods in your life? The 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 worst days or worst weeks or worst months of your life. What were you doing? And I want you to know that the fastest way to change your life is not to start doing new things. Sure, there's a lot of stuff you can start doing. It's to stop doing the things that don't work for you.
