Goal Setting: Why Do We Accomplish Some Goals & Not Others?

Well SupportedSystems, defined as the collection of daily habits, are the primary drivers of results, and current habits are perfectly designed for current results.

Partially SupportedGoals are for achieving a single outcome (e.g., running a half marathon once), while systems are for sustained, repeated success (e.g., being a runner).

Partially SupportedImproving results in life requires changing the underlying habits (inputs) rather than focusing solely on the desired outcomes (outputs).

Partially SupportedHabits create the baseline for sustained results.
