Episode notes

This chapter discusses the challenge of connecting desires with consistent actions and the need for behavior change. The speaker reflects on their experience of setting goals and not following through on them, and how they started writing weekly email reports to themselves as a way to track their progress and stay focused on their goals. The chapter emphasizes the importance of tying actions to what we want and setting up a system to achieve it.

Today is the last episode in the three-part series on an internal operating system for people working on startup ideas. We talk through the core pillars - Projects, Areas, Inbox - and the multipliers (like Keystone Actions) that'll make sure you're focused on the things that could be differentiators for your business. After today, you'll have everything you need to build your own system.
