Problems with goals
- Problem-1: Winners and losers have the same goals, if having really ambitious goals was the only thing then everybody would have won the 100m Olympic race
- Problem-2: Achieving a goal is just a momentary change but having good habits are a lifetime achievement
- Problem#3 → Goals restrict your happiness, behind any goal is this mentality that "I will be happy once I achieve this goal" The problem of this goal-first mentality is that you are continuously putting happiness off until the next milestone whose probability to reach is hell low because you are not happy (check out our stash on motivation is a myth)
- Problem#4 → Goals are at odds with long-term progress, This very closely resonates with us we studied hard for JEE because we wanted to enter into a good college now once we are in a good college mostly we have broken those habits that we had in our JEE prep life.😅

Habits and process are more important for success
- Habits are so underrated because of their under the hood behaviour and our shitty observation because they often don't make any significant difference in our life unless we unlock a new level of performance.
- We think we will get linear progress as we go along with our practice

"The purpose of setting goals is to win the game, while the purpose of building systems is to continue playing the game. True long-term thinking is goal-less thinking and it's a cycle of endless refinement and continuous improvement."

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
