Atomic Habits

If you save a little money now, you’re still not a millionaire. If you go to the gym three days in a row, you’re still out of shape. If you study Mandarin for an hour tonight, you still haven’t learned the language. We make a few changes, but the results never seem to come quickly and so we slide back into our previous routines.

Goals are about the results you want to achieve. Systems are about the processes that lead to those results.

If you keep saying something is a priority but you never act on it, then you don’t really want it. It’s time to have an honest conversation with yourself.
