It&#8217;s about systems.<\/p>\n<p>As someone who has completed a PhD, built multiple businesses and toured as a musician, I&#8217;ve known this for a fact for decades.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s one reason I was delighted when I saw the title of James Clear&#8217;s now classic book, <em>Atomic Habits<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The title says it all:<\/p>\n<p>Set up your systems optimally and your results will indeed be atomic.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s one of my favorite quotes:<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;You do not rise to the level of your goals.
