    1. I kind of get this quote, but honestly I think it needs a corollary, or at least to be amended to “focus on your system FIRST.” Because, Once the system is set up, what is it meant to do? Achieve things. And if those things have been identified before they’re done… well baby, you got some goals goin’.

      I’m a big proponent of this approach if you think about results more in terms of your quality of life + achieving goals rather than just getting stuff done. The constant struggle with anxiety and frustration and forgetfulness trying to keep a bunch of plates spinning mostly went away for me when I modified the way that I approach getting my job done. I changed my system. Just like CBT helps modify behavior to achieve better thoughts and feelings, having a better system really brought my entire life up.
