The Daily Discipline from Project MNDST

Today's episode teaches Scott Adams's model of Systems Over Goals — the idea that a goal tells you where you want to go, but a system is what you actually do each day to get there. From Adams's own account in How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big to the British Cycling team's decade-long transformation under Dave Brailsford, the episode shows why durable progress lives in daily behavior, not distant targets. Your one small action today: name one thing you want to improve and write down the simplest daily behavior that belongs to a system around it.
