TJ Walker argues that success comes from doing boring daily tasks that build skill, not from motivation. Olympic swimmers train eight hours a day doing repetitive work. The real challenge is tolerating the boredom and picking the right daily practice that gets you to your goal.

Want to challenge yourself to become as successful as you can possibly be. Often that means figuring out what's the most boring thing that you need to do on a daily basis to get better at what you're doing. Sometimes the challenge is dealing with the boredom. Swimming eight hours a day because you want to win Olympic gold can seem boring in any one stroke, any one session in the pool. But it adds up. You've got to figure out what's the right amount of mix of boring training on a daily basis. You need to get you to where you want to go. That's the real challenge. And it may be boring to others. It might be exciting to you, but it might be boring as well. Doesn't matter if the prize is worth it for you. The prize meaning the challenge, not gold or money. Please follow the TJ Walker habit.
