Focusing on systems over goals is emphasized as a more effective approach in life. Unlike goals that have a finish line and can create a sense of emptiness once achieved, systems provide continuous improvement and sustainability without a fixed end. By adopting systems, such as eating better instead of setting weight loss goals or consistently managing finances without specific targets, one can navigate through life with a more consistent and long-term approach. This strategy promotes ongoing progress and growth, irrespective of specific resolutions or timelines.
Let’s say you have a big goal for 2024, financially or personally. What happens after you reach it? Morgan Housel is the best-selling author of “Same As Ever” and “The Psychology of Money”. Dylan Lewis caught up with Housel for a discussion about:
- Setting up processes, not resolutions for the new year.
- The biggest significant economic story (that’s already known).
- What early criticisms of cars, airplanes, and AI have in common.
