They say, “Once I achieve this, I’ll be happy”. Goals restrict happiness: Most people fall into this trap of making goals and letting them restrict their happiness.But in order to improve for good, you need to solve the problems at the system level.
When you chase the outcome instead of its root level, you only make temporary changes.
Achieving a goal is only a momentary change: Achieving a goal only changes your life for a moment. It is the implementation of the system of continuous small improvements that makes a difference between a loser and a winner. Therefore, goals are not what separates the winners from losers. All of them set goals, but not all of them achieve them. Both winners and losers have the same goal: Every player wants to win the game. Here’s why you should shift your focus from goals to the system instead: Most people around the globe are obsessed with goal setting. Goals are good for setting direction, but systems are what helps in making progress. Goals are the results you want to achieve and systems are about the processes that lead to those results. source: Jamesclearįorget About Goals, Focus on System Instead So, it’s important to know how habits work and how to design them in your life. Making a choice that is 1% better or 1% worse seems insignificant at the moment but it determines the difference between who you are and who you could be.īad habits can destroy you just as easily as good habits can build you up. The slightest change in your habits can guide your life in a very different direction. It is only when looking back two, five, or perhaps ten years later that the value of good habits and the cost of bad ones becomes strikingly apparent. They don’t seem to make any difference on any given day but the impact they make over a few months or years is enormous. The 1% rule states that habits compound as you repeat them over a long time. This philosophy, the author calls it the 1% rule. This gave 5 tour de France victories in 6 years where previously they hadn’t won any in the past 100 years. 
The author tells the story of a British cycling team and how the philosophy of tiny marginal improvement in everything they do makes them champions. Small Habits Matter Because They Make a Big Difference
