How to Design Your Life (Achieving Goals Through Systems)

One of the best books I've ever read was by Scott Adams called "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big." Adams speaks significantly on the value that comes from creating 'systems' around the things we want to achieve, and focusing on honoring that system on a daily basis, rather than simply directing our attention at the goal. Not only are we more likely to hit that objective, but we end up feeling happier and more successful as we engage in the process.
With love and respect,
Nikhil

    I think that is why so many people fail to ever reach their goals. Hollywood and so called self help gurus have us convinced that to reach success that it requires massive action or luck to make anything happen in our lives. When in reality success is more often than not achieved by simply doing a few key things constantly over time.

    This is exactly what I have been doing over the past 3 months or so. I have been running a system where I’m living better and I think consistency is key. Certain things I do everyday without fail: -Get up at 5am -Daily Journaling (I’m on Day 23) -Drink at least 2L of water -Reading at least 10 pages of a good book -Exercise -Leaving the house to be amongst nature and away from the hustle and bustle Once I started to do these little steps, I feel as if my productivity has gone up exponentially. Also No PMO is helping (day 10 today) Like you said, it’s about not setting goals. Equally, not everything will happen overnight. And don’t try to do everything at once. Thanks as always for this Cap. Great video. All is well, all shall be well and manner of thing shall be well.

    I used to dayjournal. I’d write ‘’today I’m proud over’’ or *PO* for short. And i’d list things I got done during the day. I have really bad short term memory so I would day journal ../.../.../ *WO* worried over: X, Y, Z And I actually mended and resolved issues and problems I that I probably would’ve just forgotten or repressed. Even if it had to take 72 hours since I journaled what I worried over 3 days earlier.

    Every day when I wake up, I do my morning routine, I call Morning Preparation. It includes: ¬ Go to the toilet and drink a glass of water ¬ Detailed writing of my dreams that night (if I had any) ¬ Gratitude (2min) ¬ Meditation for energy and vitality, to prepare for that day, in terms of E (15min) ¬ Affirmations (4min) ¬ Concentration Practices (15min) ¬ Meditation, it can be just breathing, sometimes with mantra or binaural beats (10min) ¬ Visualisation + Desires (4min) ¬ Preparing for all daily activities which I had written (2min) ¬ Streching (around 10min) ¬ Cold Shower I want to hear your morning routines!

    I believe you are exactly correct. Routines become habits, systems in place create the process necessary to reach any goal.

I strongly believe in Karma Yoga but always find it difficult to implement because of lack of understanding about "HOW". After watching your video I got my answer of "How", its creating a system. Working on system is simple & keep our head clear. This really a cool concept. Wanna say one thing, I realise everyone has their light bulb moment. This is mine. Thanks a-lot Captain SINDABAD for showing me the path.
