I truly believed in how to incorporate the system into my life and started incorporating the system into my life. I removed various social media apps from my phone and used very long passwords, which made it difficult to open the apps. This helped me when I got rid of the habit of using the Facebook app and didn't start using Instagram or Twitter. I started exercising at least 10 minutes every day and reading at least one page a day. But after a few years, I realized that while the system of habits isn't the wrong answer, it's not quite right, at least for me. I think Mr. Clear discussed this at the end of his book, but I ignored it the same way I would ignore the last few lectures of a semester course.

A few years ago I read a book called Atomic Habits by James Clear. that's a great book. Learn how small changes in your daily habits can help you form good habits and break bad habits, how your environment influences what you do, and how starting small can have a big impact on your life. You should start reading this book and start exercising, reading, journaling, etc. I've come to the conclusion that the systems and processes you put into your life define your life completely.And I think I'm making a mistake here.
The worst thing I've ever done is if I develop a habit or a system, that's all. I have mastered this habit and nothing works. And when the system failed, they accused it of being imperfect and promised to build a better or more robust system next time. But along the way, I forgot why I was maintaining the system in the first place. The system was a means to an end. I lost sight of my goals and relied too much on finding the right means. The reason I tried to put in place a system for using social media apps was to avoid distractions, and although I was able to reduce my use of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, YouTube videos and I have a problem with -Reels. There is no uninstall option on Android phones and you can watch videos without being logged in. I tried long password app locker and locked apps after 1 hour of use a day. However, all these apps can be uninstalled with just a few clicks and the human mind can easily find loopholes in the system. I thought there was a perfect system somewhere. A system that doesn't need motivation to do the right thing. And I spent a lot of time developing this system.
I have found that these systems should serve to motivate, not replace. There is no substitute for motivation. I thought that if I wanted to reach a goal, I could just implement a system in my life that would help me reach that goal, and I wouldn't have to try anything else. I couldn't be more wrong. I realized that this strategy only works in the short term. In the past, every major goal I've achieved in life (by my standards) had a motive.
