The graveyard of abandoned systems is full of bril The graveyard of abandoned systems is full of brilliant ideas that ignored human nature. 🪦
Most systems fail because they’re not sustainable for how YOU work.
→ 7 priority levels
→ Color-coded categories
→ 15-step processes
→ Complex workflows
They look impressive.
They last a week. 😅
💡 The best system is the one you’ll actually use — not the one that looks good in a flowchart.
Design principles that work:
✨ Start with behavior, not tools
✨ Test for 3 weeks minimum
✨ Adjust or abandon if it doesn’t feel natural
✨ Simple beats sophisticated every time
Your systems should serve your brain, not fight it. 🧠
👉 What complex system could you simplify today?

My elaborate project management confession: 😅 My elaborate project management confession: 😅
→ 7 priority levels
→ Color-coded categories
→ Complex workflows
→ Hours of setup time
Lasted: one week. 🤦‍♀️
Now, I use just 3 categories:
✅ Do today
✅ Do this week
✅ Someday maybe
That’s it.
No colors.
No complexity.
No mental energy drain.
And guess what?
It’s been working perfectly for 2 years. 🙌
Here’s what I learned:
✨ Sophistication is often the enemy of consistency.
🧠 The more complex your system, the more mental energy it requires.
The best systems are invisible.
They handle the routine so your brain can focus on the remarkable.
Simple beats sophisticated every time. ✨
What could you simplify today? 👇

You know that amazing system you built six months You know that amazing system you built six months ago?
The one you spent hours designing, documenting, and getting excited about?
The one that worked for three weeks… before disappearing into the graveyard of “good intentions”? 👀
Here’s the truth:
Most systems don’t fail because they’re bad.
They fail because they’re not built for you.
I used to think system failure was a willpower issue.
If I just tried harder or found the right tool, everything would stick.
But it’s not about willpower — it’s about alignment.
💡 Systems fail when they fight your natural patterns instead of working with them.
Now I plan around my energy, not against it:
✅ Deep work when I’m sharp
✅ Admin when I’m not
And suddenly… consistency became effortless.
Design for your worst day, not your best day.
