š« **Why Setting Goals Is Harmful **šÆ š We're accustomed to setting goals to achieve something - advance in our career or get fit for summer. But here's the catch: we don't need goals; we need a system. 1ļøā£** Goals Steal Your Happiness:** When you work toward a goal, you condition yourself to delay happiness and satisfaction until you reach that coveted milestone. Instead, simplify things - plan your time and focus on daily work. By thinking about the process rather than the outcome, you can enjoy the present moment. š 2ļøā£** Goals Don't Help in the Long Run:** Once the finish line is crossed, what's next? Many people experience a slump because there's no longer a goal to drive them forward. A systematic approach doesn't make you a hostage to the "die trying to achieve" mentality. Therefore, systems are more valuable than goals; in the end, consistency always triumphs over effort. šŖ 3ļøā£** Goals Assume Control Over What You Can't: **We can't predict the future, yet that's precisely what we attempt to do when setting goals. We try to forecast where we'll be in a month, six months, a year, and how we'll end up there. Forget about predictions and create a system that will signal when and where adjustments are needed. š **None of this means that goals are entirely useless. Goals are suitable for planning development, while systems are the key to actually achieving success. **š #Psychology @Motivation
