Focus on building systems for consistent progress: Building systems leads to intentional behavior and desired outcomes, focus on necessary behaviors to achieve higher-level goals
Focusing on building systems rather than setting specific goals is a more effective approach to achieving success and living a meaningful life. Systems are the foundation for consistent, intentional behavior that leads to desired outcomes. To create these systems, it's essential to have clear, measurable aspirations and a well-defined future self. By reverse engineering the goal achievement process and focusing on the necessary behaviors, we can proactively and productively work towards our higher-level goals. So, instead of solely focusing on setting goals, focus on building the systems that will help you achieve them consistently.
