The Power of Habit
James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, writes that, “Goals are for people who care about winning once. Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly.”
We rise or fall according to the level of our systems. But family systems often don’t exist. Chaos, rush, and stress dominate. Spontaneity works on some days. Exhaustion wins on others.
If systems and habits are at the core of our successes, developing effective, usable systems becomes a skill that matters.
Can you write out your morning system? Your weekly meal system? Your exercise routine or system?
What’s the system for strengthening your relationship with your spouse or partner? Your kids?
