It's a way of securing the most important information, and protecting it from change.

Baseball players are really well known for this, of having patterns of things they do before they go to bat.
棒球运动员在这方面非常出名，他们在击球之前会有自己的一套模式。
And what rituals give high-level athletes is a sense of control because they have something they repeat, they do it successfully.

When we are in environments where we know what to do and we feel comfortable doing them, it allows us to effectively multitask.

When we've practiced one thing enough so we don't have to think about it, then we can do other things- we can make sense out of our world.
如果我们对一件事练习的足够多，不必去想它，那我们就能做其他事情--我们能让这个世界变得有意义。
