Warm up

Another valuable lesson that sports may teach us is that it is impossible to achieve a goal without the proper warm-up.

It can be applied to almost any aspect of life. If you have to do something difficult a decent warm-up will help you get in the appropriate frame of mind.

The greatest warm-up for creative processes like writing or coding is to focus on the work at hand and exclude all distractions.

Concentrating on a task can take a few minutes or up to an hour, but it will slightly warm up your brain. Your brain will begin to work steadily at that moment.

Additionally, remember to take pauses. It's critical to get enough rest.
