Atomic Habits by James Clear
The 3rd Law – Make It Easy
“Get your reps in”
Study of London cab drivers knowing the roads showed that the hippocampus (spatial memory) decreased when retired. Like weight training
Repeated motions decrease difficulty and become action. Active practice vs. passive learning
Put in your reps is the most critical step. Show up! Make them mean something.

COT: Discussed the Word and Prayer portions of the Q. JOHN PRINE says about one of his best songs Angel of Montgomery): ‘The opening lyric is “I am an old woman, named after my mother…” I was very nervous about singing this in public for the first time. Because I thought that it would come across as too detailed, too amateurish. And I thought there must be a reason for that. I must not be doing it the right way, whatever the right way is.’ Just like with songwriting, there really IS no right way to do a BOM. Just speak about something you have learned, something important to you, something that might help others. Not everyone will respond the same way but I can guarantee that pretty much every one of your brothers will get something out of your message. From Exodus 4: But Moses said to the LORD, “Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue.” 11 Then the LORD said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the LORD? 12 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.”
