Systems virtually guarantee that some progress will be made, whereas goals tend to misdirect focus. Consistent engagement with the system transforms the goal into something more practical.

Even with the right systems in place, distractions will still strike. When this happens, our brains go into filtration mode. Unfortunately, our brains are not good at reliably up to this sort of task. Since this process happens unconsciously, with a little awareness, we can and should take more control.

The system you create for yourself should be based on your own interests, strengths, and should have the capacity to generate enough traction to build momentum. Perfection is never the answer. Action-steps, and the patience of a balanced approach is always a better bet.
