Comment Comment by karimdag I’ve thought (and experimented) about this for a while and here’s what I came up with:* Goals are better for the short-term (we’re talking days and weeks).* Systems (naturally) are better for the long-term (months and years).* The best way to system-ize something is to make it a habit.* A system without an objective is useless and inefficient.* Which to use ? It depends on your personality AND the task at hand.* Defining an objective is paramount.* Objective =/= goal. An objective is of the highest order, a goal is a part of an objective. E.g. Objective: Lose fat, goal: stop consuming sugar. parent karimdag 8 years ago
