There's a hypothesis I have about the guys who win: at critical moments, they don't fuck around. I've noticed this about all the winners I know. Just that slight voice inside that says, "Let me ease off the throttle a bit here. It's not going to be critical." They ignore it or don't have it.
I do, so I started ignoring it. Up for a corner kick and the ball is headed clear for the opposing forward to only have to clear our one defender held back and 1 on 1 the keeper? I sprint the whole way. Almost every time, I get there from across the pitch in time to help.
It's the same with emails or projects or objectives. There are critical periods and when it's critical you've got to push through. I've realized I've always known when it's critical. I've just not committed in that moment. Now I know.
Interestingly, this means you can spend lots of time off the throttle. I'm pretty sure intelligence is common. There are lots of smart people. I think the combination of that plus this is killer.
Btw if you want to see what this feels like at work, try Adderall.
