Strategy 8: Create a System

Have you ever heard of Matt Cassle?

Matt Cassle was an NFL backup quarterback.

He was a decent player but he was not a superstar like Tom Brady, Payton Manning, or Joe Montana.

Yet in 2008, Matt Cassle had to become the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots because Tom Brady suffered a season ending knee injury during the first week of the season.

Remarkably, Cassle won 10 games with the New England Patriots that year.

In fact, he did so well that the Kansas City Chiefs picked him up in 2009 and made him their starting quarterback...

Only to see him fall back into mediocrity and eventually the back up role.

Moral of that short sports story is that the New England Patriots have an amazing system.

This is why they have been winning consistently since 2001. And have set multiple records in the NFL.

And when you have an amazing system you can put various pieces (like Matt Cassle) into it and it will work.

So why not do this with your life???

1. Systematically discover habits based on your goals and the area that you want to improve. If you are yet to do so check out our habit directory. You can search for habits for any area you want to improve such as confidence, clarity, creativity, focus, energy and a whole lot more.
2. Track and identify the effectiveness of various habits. This is done by implementing your habits and tracking how you feel each day.
3. Eliminate the habits that do not help and keep the habits that do. It’s a systematic approach that simply works.
4. Create your optimal routine.

The self development industry wants you to get hooked on products and courses.

Remember how hot the paleo diet was just a few years ago? Where is it now???

Now we have the keto diet. Where will it be in a few years?

Remember The Secret from 2010? Now no one is talking about it. And we are all doing meditation, cold showers, and breathing exercises.

Point is, habits will come and go.

New habits will come out, new research will come out on your existing habits.

Your body, mind and overall situation may change and so will your habits.
