When I participated in the Nanowrimo 30-Day Challenge, I wrote 50,000 words for an unedited
story/novel in 30 days. If I missed a day, I had to catch up with twice the
amount. Each session was described as hectic, and sometimes, being ‘in the
zone’. Yet, I got it done despite he crazy self-imposed timeline.
Athletes have described being ‘in the zone’ as a
trance-like state, where focus becomes pinpoint sharp, and performance feels
effortless. It is distinctly different from ‘zoning out’, where focus is lost
due to daydreaming.
Endurance sports and its requisite training sessions,
demand that we activate our values of patience,
tenacity, determination, persistence and resourcefulness. Long sessions require such values to complete
long sessions for swimming, running and cycling.
Leadership Lessons: Just do it. Plot a time slot, and
commit to completion. Do your best, and exhaust your time. Assess your results.
Write first. Edit later.
