RE: Sub-optimal conditions for success

Once upon a time, the Australian cricket team used the rule that we only have something like 40 minutes of pure attention available a day. They then trained to focus for very, very short periods of time (a couple seconds) and then tune out nearly completely when they weren't directly involved in the game (games are all day affairs and can be five days long). They were very successful.

Sort:  

Something like that. The thing is, one needs to identify what one's cricket game is and where to push harder.

Do you think most people even know what game they are suited for?

I wouldn't judge. I'd only say most of us have still many things to do before we find the optimal game for us. Which may be a life-long process.

It should be life-long I guess, as we change, as does the game. I like the artist life where there is no such thing as retirement, just changing the experimentation process.

Well, at least we have that one going for us ;)
