How to Design Your Life (Achieving Goals Through Systems)

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ส.ค. 2019
  • 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.

    I believe you are exactly correct. Routines become habits, systems in place create the process necessary to reach any goal. Sold a business once and it wasn’t because I had the best sales force or backend operation but rather because it was a system that worked well regardless of employees coming or going...

    The goals are like flowers... What you have to do to get the flowers doesn't look like flowers at all: prep the soil, watering, getting rid of weeds, etc... Focus and enjoy the gardenig process and the flowers will come naturally.

    When you follow that system you feel so fulfilled. It’s as though you have already acheived your goal, because you know the goal will be achieved as you live the way you do

    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!
    P. S. Great content, Nikhil!

    -Wake up 6am within 2min
    -Make bed
    -Meditate 5-10min
    -Read 40min of my book
    -Reach my daily target on duolingo
    -Light morning workout
    -Write 3 goals/reasons for gratitude of the day (got rid of this a few weeks in)
    -Eat breakfast
    -Work on my art project (graphic design)
    -Leave to school
    I have a new schedule at 16 which is similar but is more adapted to my goals in life.

    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.

You live, you learn :) took me 27 years to think for myself wow.
