“For me, becoming isn’t about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn’t end.”~Michelle Obama

You’ve just achieved a goal you’ve been working towards for two years. You did it! Congratulations. Someone asks you: how does it feel? “Kind of anti-climactic, actually,” you say. This scenario is quite common among those who have achieved even the highest benchmarks in business, athletics, or art, says Adam Alter, and it’s because the goal-setting process is broken.
With long-term goals particularly, you spend the large majority of the time in a failure state, awaiting what could be a mere second of success down the track.
This can be a hollow and unrewarding process. Describing an idea first proposed by Scott Adams in his book How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, Alter suggests swapping quantitative goals (I will write 1,000 words of my novel per day. I will run 1km further every week) for qualitative systems—like writing every morning with no word target, or running in a new environment each week—that nourish you psychologically, and are independently rewarding each time you do them.

Learn to Set Systems | Adam Alter
“Every time you set a system and you stick to it, you’re achieving something.”Challenge
Identify ONE thing you want to become and write it down.
Create a system for your becoming [what action will you regularly do to become that thing?] and write it down.
Make a plan in your schedule to do the action.
Do it.
Review your daily tasks [all that you need to do in a day] twice a day to hold yourself accountable & get back on track when you slip up.
What are your thoughts on this idea of Systems vs. Goals? Please share in the comments.

“Trust yourself. CREATE the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.” ~Golda Meir

FOCUS ON CREATING SYSTEMS RATHER THAN SETTING GOALS
Setting goals is very common practice, yet most people fail to achieve them. Why is that?
Achievements and results take time. They require positive habits. They require consistency. They require effort.
And if you’re a regular reader/viewer of mine you know I’m ALL about goals.
However, there is something far more important: systems.
“It wasn’t the goal that made the difference, instead it was their systems”Challenge
Set TWO goals for the week. Write down a plan to accomplish those goals. Include checkpoints [progress indicators].
Do you have a complete SYSTEM to execute your game plan & accomplish your goals? If so, name the main parts. If not, what do you think is missing? Please share in the comments.
