Goals or Systems?

in ThoughtfulDailyPost3 years ago (edited)

Hey Guys! This is my first time posting in PeakD and I just want to share a concept that I learned in reading James Clear's book entitled "Atomic Habits".

We are all aware of what Goals are. It is essentially what we want to have and/or achieve in the long or short term. We have a habit of focusing solely on setting goals, and we end up setting them far too high. And, once we act, we are usually disappointed with the results. And we always fall short of our objectives. Rather than focusing on goals, we should concentrate on our systems.

What exactly is a system? It is the routine or process that we go through to achieve our goal. The goal is to win the game, and the system is the method for doing so. Focusing on the System rather than the Goal, in my opinion, is far more important for success. In his book "Atomic Habits," James Clear says, "constantly looking at the scoreboard will not help you win the game." However, focusing on the actions or process of winning the game does." This begs the question, can we abandon our goals in favor of focusing solely on the system? We can certainly do so. A goal, on the other hand, is important for setting a course, but we must focus all of our efforts on creating an ideal system.

But how do we go about building our system? Everyone's system is unique. When it comes to systems, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution. We have various scenarios, skills, and paths in mind. And we can't just imitate a routine performed by some YouTube sensation. As James Clear puts it, "we do not rise to the level of our goals; we fall to the level of our system." As a result, we should build our system around what action we can take that is feasible and that we can do consistently. A key rule in developing a good system is to consider whether it can be sustained in the long run. Because consistency leads to success.
