Framework for Creating a System
Friday, December 26, 2025
Here’s a simple framework for creating a system:
- Pick the outcome – Be clear about what you want to achieve.
- Choose the actions (habits) – Identify the small, repeatable behaviors that move you toward the outcome.
- Decide when to do them – Attach each habit to a time or trigger.
- Track your habits – Mark each habit as done so you can see progress.
- Weekly review – Check whether you completed your habits, celebrate what worked, and adjust what didn’t.
