| Hey,
Something that fascinates me are the unspoken rules and mental models that separate the ultra successful from everyone else.
Life is crazy. And it seems like it’s getting crazier each year.
And it’s easy to look at the people who seem to thrive no matter how crazy things get and think that it’s all about grit or willpower or plain ‘ol dumb luck.
But more often than not, it’s the result of simple rules and systems that help them guarantee success.
Here are a few examples:
Distractions: “How can I stop getting sucked into social media?”
WILLPOWER: “I won’t look at my phone. I won’t look at my phone… *Ding* … Maybe I should check this real quick, it could be important… *Spends 30-minutes scrolling Instagram.”
SYSTEMS: “I’m going to turn my phone off and leave it in another room to make sure I can’t be distracted until my deep work is done.”
Waking Up: “I keep hitting snooze! How do I wake up on time?”
WILLPOWER: “Just do it! Stop hitting that darn snooze button and get out of the… zzzz”
SYSTEMS: “I’m going to put an alarm in my bathroom so I have to get out of bed to turn it off. I’m also going to send my early-bird friend a picture of my watch every morning by 6:05 AM to prove that I got up on time.”
Socializing: “I need to get up early tomorrow but my friends are inviting me out”
WILLPOWER: “I’ll just go out for one drink. I can leave by 8PM and get to bed on time no problem… *3 drinks later at 11PM*... I gotta go!”
SYSTEMS: “I’m going to call my friend and tell them that I’d love to hang out but let them know that I need to leave no later than 8PM and won’t be drinking tonight. I’ll also tell my partner that I’ll be home by 8:15 so I have extra accountability.”
Exercise: “How do I train more consistently?”
WILLPOWER: “Time to get some! I’m going to watch a motivational YouTube video and train everyday this week.”
SYSTEMS: “I’m going to hire a personal trainer and pay in advance to make sure I actually show up to my sessions. I’m also going to block of my calendar during our training blocks and make sure that my team knows I’ll be unreachable during these hours.”
Money: “I make 6-figures a year! How is it possible that I don’t have any savings?”
WILLPOWER: “I’ll just track my spending and make sure to save more”
SYSTEMS: “I’ll take 20-minutes to set up an automatic transfer at the beginning of every month so that 10% of my income goes directly to a separate savings account. That way I don’t have to think about it and won’t be tempted to overspend.”
I want you to notice a few things here.
First, the systems in these examples don’t take very long to set up. In most cases, it’s a few minutes to one hour.
Next, when you have systems, you eliminate the need for willpower and discipline almost completely.
Can you think of a few simple ways to build more systems in your life?
Our new 8-week program–The Effortless Discipline Boot Camp–is filled with systems and strategies just like these to help you make progress toward your big goals automatically.
