Peak Performance developed out of the notion that, being really good at something is incredibly difficult. And most of us who get there only stay on top for a short bit, and often suffer from burn out and end up hating what we once loved. Peak Performance was the quest to find out if we could achieve that level of success, but do so in a healthy, sustainable way.

It's about setting up your environment to entice you to read. I look at writing in the same way that I do running. I'm going to lace up my shoes and head out the door each day. Some days I'm going to suffer through the run and only make it a few miles, others I'm going to feel fantastic and hammer out a great workout. But each day, I'm going to run. The same holds true for writing.
My other tip is to expose yourself to as many different experiences and viewpoints as possible. I get flashes of inspiration from reading books that have nothing to do with the subject I'm thinking or writing about. Connection is the key to inspiration.
