Ten days to a repeatable routine
Ten days building the same short sequence you run before every moment. The breathing comes first and the eyes come second, and by the end you are running it without reading the steps.

- Breathe6 days
- Lock the cue3 days
- Quiet Eye3 days
- The Hold1 day
- Log a moment2 days
Every one of these is a drill the app already has, and each finished action is worth 10 Clutch points exactly as it is anywhere else. The programme changes the order, not the payout.

Day one starts today, and the run counts forward from there in your own timezone.
Day by day
Missing a day does not fail anything. The run is keyed to the calendar, so it simply moves on to the next one.
- Day 1.Set the baselineThree minutes at six breaths a minute. Take the reading before and after, so the next nine days have something to sit against.Breathe · 1 thing to tick
- Day 2.Find your cueFive trials of Lock the cue. A number flashes, Clutch swoops in to pull your eyes away, and then you say what you saw.Lock the cue · 1 thing to tick
- Day 3.Hold the lookFive looks, each one a long still hold on your sport's own target, and the hold breaks the moment your finger lifts or slides off it.Quiet Eye · 1 thing to tick
- Day 4.Breath, then cueRun the breathing first and Lock the cue straight after. The order you rehearse now is the order you will reach for when it counts.Breathe · Lock the cue · 2 things to tick
- Day 5.Breath, then the long lookSame opening as yesterday, with Quiet Eye on the end of it instead. Keep the gap between the two short.Breathe · Quiet Eye · 2 things to tick
- Day 6.See what rushing feels likeSixteen reps of The Hold, which fires on the real cue and punishes the fake one. It is the only reaction day in the ten.The Hold · 1 thing to tick
- Day 7.The full orderRun the breathing first and the cue straight after, with no gap between them longer than a minute. This is the sequence you are keeping.Breathe · Lock the cue · 2 things to tick
- Day 8.Tag one for realLog a moment from today, and write down what you actually did in the sixty seconds before it. A moment from practice counts here just as well as one from a competition.Log a moment · 1 thing to tick
- Day 9.Run it without readingSame sequence and the same order, with no checking the steps before you start it. Needing to look is worth knowing.Breathe · Quiet Eye · 2 things to tick
- Day 10.Run it, then log itRun the whole sequence before something that matters today, and tag the moment straight after it. This is the day that tells you whether it stuck.Breathe · Log a moment · 2 things to tick
