This is excellent advise and goes into the `Goals vs Systems` territory. A good sensible and enjoyable read for the same would be Chapter 5 'Goals vs Systems` from [1]. From personal experience, opting for the systems approach has helped me: - Focus on multiple activities (max 4) with time bucketing and ensuring the time bucket has a task that can be done, like the actionable gym example above - You are not worried about reaching the goal, instead you consistently put in the effort and don't feel the void when and if any goal is completed - Systems help a ton in tackling complex or difficult subjects. YMMV and mind you, earlier I was goal focussed and IMHO, got lesser done.
