A lot of people dream of playing professional sports without any real understanding of what it would take - day in and day out. In sports, a young athlete might be the best there is in high school, only to get to college and face a whole new level of skill.

The pattern repeats every time a goal is achieved. While talent and top physical condition certainly play an important role in developing a star athlete, one of the most vital qualities is consistency.

What does it mean to be consistent, or to have a consistent routine? A consistent routine is simply the ability to break larger tasks down into much smaller components.

It takes some will power and determination, but once you are able to do this, you’ll actually SAVE time and energy (not to mention stress) and help yourself achieve more than you ever thought possible.
