Rather than just setting goals, I’m trying something new this year around building a system. It's called System10: • One keystone habit per month • Each month builds on top of the previous one • Add 10 new habits and routines into my personal OS I discovered this approach when I stopped drinking alcohol. It had such a positive ripple effect in so many others areas of my life. Goal now is to incorporate new habits and routines that create a lifestyle change.
