Take a look at your systems

“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”

James Clear makes that comment in his new book, Atomic Habits.

How good are your systems, for the things you do every day? You’re certainly functioning with plenty of systems right now – if you’re not getting the outcomes you want, you might consider if the underlying framework actually supports what you’re after, of if changes need to be made.

The attached chart is from Clear’s book and sheds some light on how our small choices (our atomic habits) compound for our good or ill.
