“One thing I always share with my clients is this idea of the 10-second rule,” Davenport says. “Before I close the door, I take 10 seconds and look around and make sure I haven’t forgotten anything. At the top of the mountain, when you’re transitioning from touring to skiing, take those 10 seconds and check: Are my boots buckled, are my skins off, am I in ski mode? The euphoria and the nerves that come with getting to the top of mountains makes people forget. The 10-second rule is about introducing an intentional pause that you can incorporate into everyday life.”

“The 10-second rule can save your life in the backcountry, but it’s also helpful with more mundane tasks. When I leave my house to go to the airport for a trip, I stop and quickly run through everything I need: passport, wallet, phone charger. It’s a nice reminder to slow down.”
