 Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress. I recently read Atomic Habits by James Clear. It’s a fantastic book about building good habits and systems in order to make progress and achieve your goals.
Goals are great, but simply having a goal doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. Without a system in place, goals are only dreams. For example, you might have a goal of winning first chair in your band. That’s a great goal. But, without a system of practicing every day, you’re probably not going to achieve it (unless you’re the only bassoonist in your band, which is a very real possibility.) Furthermore, you need the good habits of putting your bassoon together every day and making a practice plan in order to have a good system.
