Systems and habits are more effective than relying solely on motivation to achieve your goals. The idea is that motivation is fleeting and inconsistent, but systems are stable and predictable

For example, instead of relying on motivation to go to the gym, you create a system where you pack your gym bag the night before, set it by the door, and schedule your workouts at the same time each day. This system makes it easier to follow through, even when motivation wanes.

By focusing on systems, you make small but consistent improvements that add up over time, leading to significant long-term progress.
