The author of Getting Things Done, David Allen, encourages us to use systems that work *for* us.

Put it this way: we are the sum of all of our existing habits and ways of thinking: our system is getting us our current results.

If we want to change where we are, we must support that change by changing our systems.

This may mean the following:

In relationships: Keeping track of who we spend time with and dropping the 10% of people who are not supportive to our goals.

In health: Integrating new and better lifestyle choices into our daily routine. Walk the stairs instead of taking the elevator. Pack a lunch instead of choosing fried food. Exercise 45 minutes a day instead of watching television.
