Forget About Setting Goals. Focus on This Instead - James Clear

Not until this video that I understood the meaning of ''You don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your system".

Creating a system and changing my enviroment were definitely the greatest factors in improving my life and actually start doing the things that I had been putting off for 2 years... I highly recommend his book Atomic Habits!

I think it's still important to address your mindset first before setting up "new systems" . If you don't get your mind right (address limiting beliefs about yourself, paradigm shifts etc), these systems are all a band aid that will eventually render useless if you encounter a setback (inner talk goes to "what's the use, this is all pointless, I knew it wasn't going to last / work, etc). You have to get to the root of the problem (why do you have bad habits and systems in the first place!??), before you can set the foundation for new, strong/resilient systems to be built.

This book is the book of decade ...has profound impact 💫

This guy is a visionary for sure. The way he condenses information on practical application of habits for improving oneself is mind-blowing. James Clear's book 'Atomic Habits' is revolutionary- although you might wonder while reading- "Well, hang on minute, why does not anyone talk about these basic things or why didn't I think differently about this rudimentary boring stuff?"

I like to think of “systems” as “programs”— so to recognize when we’re in a programming state (through sensations), and then reprogramming through sensations (embodying the sensations that come with the result we seek).

“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.” (Atomic Habits). I also like the meditation book called 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels for building a mindfulness habit.

I just started reading the book atomic habits it's great

His book is one of the best I've ever read

Good habits effortlessly sounds good 👌🏼 have to update my system

This is pure genius. I read a book with similar content, and it was pure genius. "The Art of Saying No: Mastering Boundaries for a Fulfilling Life" by Samuel Dawn

Plz put subtitles on 🙏🏽

design a better and more useful system to reach our goals

Design your life and environment. Cz u cant control the 2nd person , but the only person u have the control over -is you

I was going to set some goals and start acting to get them done but changed my mind knowing I would fail because 1: Me desks a mess, and 2: I forgot wto watch my jeans. The crap they come up with to stop you getting shir done!

Systems are the actions we take, and the progress and feedback we get every day. They are the ultimate factor to our results. Systems give us feedback immediately. Goals are too far. Systems can be adaptive to changes quickly. Goals are not.

There are some naysayers that will say questioning or blaming the system or environment is being a victim.

Can someone please explain me the meaning of "you dont rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems " ? I'm a but uncertain about what I understood

Oh hello Ken Coleman
