Goals are great for setting direction, but they often fall short in delivering consistent results. Why? Because goals focus on the outcome, not the process.

Enter systems.

A system is a set of daily habits or routines that, when followed consistently, lead to the desired outcome. For example:

• Goal: Run a marathon.

• System: Run 5km every morning before work.

By focusing on the system, you're more likely to make progress because you're working on the process daily. As James Clear puts it, "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems."

When it comes to health and longevity, systems are crucial. Instead of aiming to "lose 10kg," create a system:

• Prepare healthy meals every Sunday.

• Walk 30 minutes daily.

• Sleep 7-8 hours each night.

These daily actions, repeated consistently, lead to lasting health benefits. It's not about the big, dramatic changes; it's about the small, consistent ones.
