Strategic routines go far beyond superstitions, like wearing the same socks or underwear before a big event. Rather, the activities we do prior to performing prime our bodies and our minds into specific states, and the environments we work in invite and influence certain behaviors. When we repeatedly execute the same routine and work in the same environment, we create strong links deep inside our brains and bodies. We connect what we do before we work and where we work to the act of working itself.
