After switching to Linux as my daily driver OS on my laptop, I started to notice the temperature readings every now and then. Everything was good until the fan seemed to become more annoying than usual My fan started to stay on more often and I was not sure why At first I thought that it's just because Linux is not like Windows, and it just keeps the fan on because it is on high performance mode at all times.

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.
