Rituals

Do you brush your teeth every day? Hopefully the answer is “yes, of course!” It’s a ritual that was probably ingrained in you by your parents from a very young age. That is the power of a ritual – do something enough and it’ll become second nature. We don’t need to expound the benefits of brushing your teeth, but there are other rituals whose benefits might seem less obvious. For example, taking a minute to make your bed in the morning. That might seem uncorrelated to being more productive at work, but it sets you up on the right note for the day. Most high performers have rituals, and there’s a good reason: rituals help get you into a flow state, in which you can produce your best work.
