TIP #6 CHOOSE SPARTAN OVER LUXURIOUS

Luxury signals the unconscious mind to give less effort. It whispers, Relax, you’ve made it. The talent hotbeds are not luxurious. The point of this tip is not moral; it’s neural. Simple, humble spaces help focus attention on the deep-practice task at hand: reaching and repeating and struggling. When given the choice between luxurious and spartan, choose spartan. Your unconscious mind will thank you.
