To take sustainable action towards a goal, consider if you work better with a time-based system or a quantity-based system.
Some people prefer to keep to a regular time where they will work on their goal for a set period.
Other people prefer to set themselves a target to strive for that isn’t time-bound.
Let’s say you’re studying for a qualification.
An example of a time-based system is dedicating an hour at the end of each workday to study. Regardless of how the day has gone, this study hour is sacred and will be kept to.
An example of a quantity-based system is striving to revise a chapter or answer a certain number of practice questions each week, though when this happens across the week is not rigidly defined.
Appreciating these different systems will help you better manage your productivity amidst everything that’s happening in your life.
