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.
