Writer James C. Clear says in his book Atomic Habits, "Goals are about the results you want to achieve. Systems are about the processes that lead to those results." He goes on to say that "Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress." He reminds us that winners and losers have the same goals. It's not the goal that drives the outcome; it's the system. Each year I become more convinced that systems are really the key to tackling big projects.
