Goals are for people who care about winning once. Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly. - James Clear

You probably don't want maximum effectiveness.

For example, the most effective way to make money likely requires a lifestyle you don't want to live. Instead, you want the most effective path that fits your desired lifestyle.

How do you want to spend your days? Start there, then optimize.

In the long-run, the people who succeed are the ones who want to live the lifestyle that precedes the results.

Stop asking, "What results do I want to have?"

Start asking, "What lifestyle do I want to live?"

It's common to want results. It's rare to want the lifestyle.

Each day is a new battle to say yes to what matters and say no to what doesn't. Focus is a practice.
