"Do more of what works and less of what doesn't."
Each of us has a stockpile of experience and knowledge. A treasury of knowledge without the ability to sort and apply it has less utility than limited knowledge well-deployed. KNOW THAT and KNOW HOW differ.
Too much?
- Don't waste time. Time and efficiency are the first two items on Peter Drucker's Effective Executive list.
- "Don't major in the minors." Do we spend too much time on low yield activities?
- Toss outdated drills, actions, plays. "Kill your darlings."
Too little?
- Dedicate "Thinking time" being solution-focused.
- Mindfulness (increases focus, memory, decreases stress)
- Scrimmage? Consider SSGs (below).
- Video study (Believe the 'truth machine')
Improve our habits. Pick, stick, and check.
- Write them down. Consider a public commitment. This is what we do.
- Track them in a notebook or on a spreadsheet (portability)
- Check progress at regular intervals. "Don't miss twice."
