- Motivation is a visitor that comes and goes, making reliance on it unreliable for consistent progress.
- Systems act as residents that remove the need for motivation and make progress predictable.
Replace Motivation With A Followable System
- Replace 'wait for motivation' with 'follow the system' so results become consistent and steady.
- Design a system that produces the desired output and then follow it regardless of how you feel.

- A properly structured system makes progress the natural output of running it consistently.
- Systematized discipline ensures each run of the system produces forward movement.
