To stay mentally strong and achieve their goals, they practice “segmentation.” They break down their larger goals into micro goals. For example, rather than focusing on completing a 20-mile run, they focus on reaching the tree they see in their path in the distance. Once they reach the tree, they focus on scaling a hill that’s within sight. And so on until they complete their run. Application: Break down intimidating projects into small steps. Ideally, these steps can be completed within a single day.
