There is a Solution to the Disorder in your Personal and Business Life. One of the reasons for this book is because of my experiences in the military where I learned how applying a systematic approach to a task, commonly through some kind of SOP (standard operating procedure), ensures that a level of consistent deliverable is achieved, maintained, and incrementally improved over years of iterations. I used to wonder whether a systematic approach could be useful in other areas of my life outside of the military. Seven years later, I’ve found that not only is this answer YES, but it is hard for me to identify any area of my life that has NOT been profoundly improved through a rough initial implementation of a systems approach, followed by an incremental and automatic refinement. Key tenets of this book: I will bet you the price of this book that there is at least one aspect of your life that you want to change. Maybe it’s your professional or physical performance, your sleep quality, or your cluttered room, garage, or mind. I am writing this book for no other reason than to share what I believe is the secret to improvement in almost any area of life. The secret can be encapsulated in one word: system. Why do systems work? The answer is simple: The reason systems work is because the opposite of a good system is chaos. Whatever you want to improve can be enhanced by using a baseline system. Here’s why: A baseline system is a way to start from somewhere and through incremental refinement, to retain what is working and jettison what is no longer working. Chaos is where haphazard inputs yield unpredictable and inconsistent outcomes. Of course, just because a solution is simple doesn’t mean the solution will be easy. Fortunately, this book is the condensation of many costly experiments in what works and what doesn’t work, so that you can embrace the former and avoid the latter, and condense years of my time into just a few hours of your time. If you want to start fixing the problems with your fitness, your relationships, your businesses, and your focus, you will be challenged to find a better use of your time than spending it reading this book or listening to it if you purchased the audiobook format.
