This rang true for me. Systems are more powerful than goals.
One example I can cite is that I've always struggled to keep a diary until recently, when I finally got into a groove and did it for six months straight, not missing a day. Then my wife moved my desk, the habit died, and a week later I had missed too many days and lost the motivation to keep going.
- sireat 6y agoThen again a wrong system leading to a habit that does not align with your inner heart is worse than useless. As anecdata I had a 400+ day chain going on https://750words.com/ https://750words.com/ ( a nice single person startup btw) but once I missed a few days I felt tremendously happy. I realized that I was not getting anywhere (my writing still stinks to high heaven) and that my goals did not match with the habit. Life is too short to make wrong habits.
