New Year Systems III
Issue #35 - how to build systems
I was chatting with a friend yesterday and she mentioned the stress of cooking.
If you are like me; you don’t eat except food is given or provided.
Cooking can be stressful, but imagine there is a system that does this without you.
Systems are machines built to work faster and better with or without little input.
Imagine if God had to come and speak for animals or plants to produce all the time.
That will definitely be very stressful.
He gave us a blueprint of how systems are built
and should be built for every part of our life.
You are not meant to work for money all your life.
You are not meant to wash your own clothes all your life.
Cook forever?
The only thing he has called us to do forever is serve Him.
Systems are in levels.
You need to know the one you currently need.
Is it for your finances, relationship, business or children?
You see, building systems is not just about creating routines; it’s about designing a framework that supports your goals and makes success inevitable.
Without a well-structured system, achieving consistent success is nearly impossible.
What are the Benefits of Building Systems?
Scalability: Systems allow you to scale your efforts, making it easier to handle increased responsibilities or larger projects.
Stress Reduction: Knowing that you have a reliable system reduces stress and helps you stay focused.
Consistency: Systems ensure that you perform necessary tasks regularly, reducing the reliance on motivation alone.
Efficiency: With a system in place, you can streamline your processes, saving time and energy.
Here are Key Strategies to Build Effective Systems:
1. Identify Your Goals
Clearly define what success looks like for you. Whether it’s advancing in your career, improving your health, or growing your personal brand, having a clear goal is crucial.
Let's say you want to start your journey in content creation, and your goal is to publish a weekly newsletter. You can set a goal of posting one newsletter every Thursday. That's a clear one.
2. Break Down the Process
Once you have your goal, break it down into smaller, manageable tasks. This makes the process less overwhelming and more achievable.
Using the same example in number 1….
To achieve your weekly newsletter goal, break down the process into smaller tasks: have a central theme, brainstorm topics on Monday, draft on Tuesday, edit on Wednesday, and finalise on Thursday.
3. Create a Schedule/Routine
A schedule helps you allocate specific times for each task, ensuring that nothing gets overlooked. Use tools like calendars, planners, or digital apps to keep track of your schedule.
4. Automate Where Possible
Automation can save you a lot of time and effort. Look for tasks that can be automated, such as social media posting, email responses, or data entry.
For example, using an email marketing tool to schedule my newsletters would ensure that my newsletters are sent out on time, every time.
5. Review and Adjust
Regularly review your systems to see what’s working and what isn’t. Be open to making adjustments to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
That's all I have for you today! I hope this was helpful.
What systems do you have in place to reach your 2025 goals?
I await your response.
I'd like to hear from you.
Happy New Year, Friend!
