Forget Goal setting - do this instead
James Clear in his book Atomic Habits, talks about the problems with goal setting I had been a goals person for most of my life until I read about what james had to say about goal setting. He makes a good point: both losers and winners in life have the same goals. What actually differentiates them is their System for achieving goals. I used to ask my self 'what are my goals?' all the time. I dont do that anymore . I ask myself a different question now I ask : yup what are my systems you see goals solve the problem once systems solve the problem for ever example: before: I'm hungry my goal: I want to eat ok ill go to the store and buy almonds and bananas and eat them. problem solved for today now: im hungry what is my system for food? my system: regular subscription for almonds and bananas setup with local grocery store. problem solved for ever.
