Career
 In order to perform optimally at one’s career, there are two necessary skills that apply. These skills apply regardless of the career in question, and the relative physical or cerebral demands.
The first skill is attention/concentration. The better one is able to focus and sustain focus across time, the better one is able to perform whatever task is presented. There are many factors that can interfere with attention/concentration from ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, an over-active mind, etc. The ability to focus one’s mind as needed is a foundation for optimal performance.
The second primary skill is emotional control. In order to perform at one’s best, there must be an optimal level of physiological arousal for optimal performance. Insufficient arousal (e.g. boredom, lack of motivation, depression) impedes performance, as well as overarousal (anxiety, stress, anger, etc). Being able to control one’s emotions, to generate and direct the optimum amount of emotional energy for a given task is the other foundation for optimal performance.
Once the foundations of good attention/concentration and emotional control are set, the other skills applicable to a particular career or job can be addressed. Depending on the job/career at hand, secondary skills with range across such things as: organizational skills, simultaneous processing, successive processing, planning, hand/eye coordination, memory, etc.
Finally, optimal functioning relies upon a healthy body and a sound mind, which depend upon proper nutrition, sleep, and activity/exercise.
