Measuring Progress with Systems and Habits
Scott Miker
When adopting a systems and habits approach to self-improvement, one area that often creates confusion is measurement. How do we ensure we're on the right track?
Measurement plays a crucial role in personal growth. By tracking both the actions we take and the results we achieve, we gain clarity on our progress. However, because systems emphasize progress over perfection, I place greater focus on the daily actions we take rather than obsessing over immediate outcomes.
Even when results seem slow to materialize, consistently tracking those daily habits allows us to see the forward momentum. Over time, this steady progress compounds, leading to the outcomes we seek. The key is to trust the process and stay committed to taking the right steps every day.
