When we face any task, there is always a great temptation to resort to tricks, to take the shortest path. A lot of people do that. They are looking for quick solutions to most problems, and in the end they have to start all over again. Quick results are short-lived, and sometimes they can be difficult to repeat.
But there is another way — to be consistent and create workable systems in different areas of life. A system is a collection of small steps, habits, and repeatable actions that simplify life and help you perform various tasks.
Firstly, by implementing the system into what you do, you increase your productivity. This saves you time and energy.
I use a couple of performance enhancement systems. I start the day with the tasks I chose last night: So I don't spend the morning forming a to-do list. The free time is spent on the most difficult work. This system allows me to fully use my brain for tasks that require deep concentration. And I also use the sprint method and set aside about an hour in the morning to write.
Secondly, consistency and regularity increase your chances of long-term success regardless of short-term victories.
Following the developed plan, you make progress every day. Let's say you want to improve your fitness. A regular twenty-minute workout in the morning or evening will be better than a one-time sprint or an hour in the gym, whenever you want.
Even if you exercise only twice a week, in the long run you will do more for your health. To change any area of your life, you need to play for a long time.
