The purpose of using a system

There are only three different kinds of systems:

  1. The system of other people: You respond to the time pressures of other people.

  3. A system of your own design: Moods and outside pressures still matter, but they're not the only guiding factor on what to do.

Building a habit of a productivity system is about creating a buffer between you and your temporary emotions or external pressures.
