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,

Its easy to overestimate one defining moment, but underestimate small daily moments, 21 seconds in and you already dropped a bomb 💣

(1.00)^365 = 1.00

(1.01)^365 = 37.78

The power of doing just a little bit more every day

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.
Great video. Keep the system going

[danwick]

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...

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.

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!

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

[MrDestroyer]

I also love your outro, "... to us i say, greatness is coming" makes a strong impact in the end

[RidzwanRazalee]

Scripting 30 minutes a day and carrying the camera everywhere looking for B-Roll opportunities whenever and where ever. Wow, this is perhaps one of the most practical steps and advice for any creators to follow out there!

[mondon]

Best youtuber ever! Great video quality bro!!! KEEP IT UP

[Shan]

Dude you just expounded Karma Yoga!!!

Focusing entirely on our actions instead of the results. The process is more important than the end result. Instead of setting the end result as goal, one should set his own process itself as his goal. Only then his possiblities are limitless!!

Watching your videos had always made me understand the wisdom words of our Rishis in a different light. Thankyou Cap. 🙏🏾

Love from Kerala, India ❤️

[martonszabo]

All i hear now is that you shouting in your indian dad voice that: "BABA, GREATNESS IS COMING, YOU JUST GET IN THERE AND DO IT!!!!"
Seriously, nice vids, Cap! You're the type of dude I would love to have a cup of coffee with and just talk the afternoon away ☕🗣

Watching this in December 2020 and seeing how what you’re spelling out here directly affected your channel’s evolution is a huge inspiration, well done man

[ktpeace]

After experimenting a lot f different mindset to get myself on track I found the best- which is the 'FEAR OF REGRET'..

[ryzetto]

This was a great video I also created a system when I was 15 and it lasted about 3 months before exams hit and I had to study more.

-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.

[LordLacerda]

Greatness is Coming!

[florisolthoff]

Just bought a planner and a 100 day goal book, video couldn’t come a better time :)

[SirLuke]

“The only thing that matters is honoring the system “ hit deep for me

[calvinfernandez]
