Journal Prompts for Building Better Systems
Motivation may start your journey, but systems are what keep you moving forward.

Motivation is a spark, but sparks fizzle out. Systems create the fire that keeps burning. If you feel like you’re always “starting over,” it’s because you’re relying too much on willpower.
