Summary of Atomic Habits

  • Goals = results you want to achieve
  • Systems = the processes that lead to the aforementioned results
  • Goals are good for setting the path but systems are designed for making progress
  • The purpose of setting goals is to win the game
  • The purpose of building systems is to continue playing the game
The system is your baseline fallback to achieve your goals ...

You don’t rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems.
