“There’s a T-shirt at the gift shop in Index that all the locals wear. On the back is a list of all the classic climbs, and I want to be the first person to do them all.”
When we give ourselves constraints and a clear goal, we focus. We plan our days and make them count.
20 routes down, 10 more to go.
Before we’ve left the crag we are already checking the weather and lining up partners for our next day off.
Paradoxically, when we have more options and leave ourselves open to an unlimited selection, productivity stalls.
What’s the rush? I’ll never climb them all anyway.
True, you won’t climb them all.
But give yourself some constraints and a well-defined goal, and you’ll quickly accomplish more than you’d ever thought possible.
