Let’s look at the golf swing as a metaphor for life. There is a few constants that need to be present always, under all circumstances. First, the setup, feet planted shoulder width apart, butt out and back, hands at the toe-line. No matter what you do, if the setup is wrong, the swing won’t work. Life is the same way, you need some constants that keep you grounded and based on some form of structure. That could be exercise, eating right, meditation, waking up at the same time. Before you can work on the takeaway, you need to make sure these irreplaceables are dialed in. That perspective change helps you get more done in your day, and the things you want done. Even in the days you don’t get what you want done, if you get the setup right, the ball will fly. It might not be a perfect swing, but you’re moving forward. As you get the setup more consistent, you add one technique and intricacies. Side hustles, projects, deeper focus on tasks at hand and then you start to build up distance, power, and more flexibility.
