Tony Schwartz is the President and CEO of The Energy Project and author of "Be Excellent at Anything." He posted his "Six Keys to Being Excellent at Anything."
These keys can serve as an extension of Anders Ericsson's work on "deliberate practice." Ericsson made the case that it takes 10,000 hours of work to achieve expertise.
1. Pursue what you love. - Passion
2. Do the hardest work first. - Delay gratification.
3. Practice intensely, without interruption for short periods of no longer than 90 minutes and then take a break.
4. Seek expert feedback, in intermittent doses.
5. Take regular renewal breaks. - Relax after intense effort.
6. Ritualize practice. - Build specific, inviolable times at which you do them, so that over time you do them without having to squander energy thinking about them.
