I feel like there's going to be a strong mental game in anything you're trying to excel at. For the past few years, I have been building up a business around providing content for various types of online gambling websites. When I slack off of my mental routine and things that help me to stay in a mindset of producing good work, I drop to about 30 percent of my current maximum (if that much). It can happen after just a day or two of getting out of a routine or not following the things that I need to follow to make sure that it's easier to make the right decisions than the decisions that won't get me what I want.
I meditate daily for about 20-25 minutes in the late morning/early afternoon, and I have for years. One of the biggest issues I've learned to deal with through this is the feeling of being burnt out. If I start feeling that way, I can relax and take a few deep breaths to gather my focus, and then I'm good for another 30 minutes or so at least. I can repeat this several times until I feel like I need to get up and take a break.
