So...

Both thinking big picture, what are we really trying to do here?

And is this the best way to accomplish it?

And then having a bias toward action and moving fast.

Those two things work really well together.

So I try to keep this little mantra in mind, which is never miss twice.

And so maybe I show up and I do the right thing.

I've been writing for six days in a row and then the seventh day I miss.

well, you know, I wish I hadn't missed, but that's okay.

Let me pour all my energy into getting back on track the next day.

And what you realize is that at the end of the year, those mistakes are just like a little blip on the radar.

But that's only true if you never miss twice.

It's only true if you get back on track quickly.

And I think you see this in many domains, which is the top performers have this interesting quality.

They're all human.

They all make mistakes like everybody else.

But the thing that they share is they tend to get back on track quickly.

And if the reclaiming of a habit is fast, the breaking of it doesn't matter that much.

But it's all about getting back on track that matters.

So again, it's this concept of bouncing back from a loss that is really critical.
