Thinking in Systems - An Exploration of Systems Thinking

Systems thinking is the opposite of letting go in the meditation paradigm. When you think in systems—or attempt to—you concentrate hard on the system at hand in order to make it fit a certain category, or squared process you and your mind manufacture carefully. You attempt to put things into a broader process. You extract the fundamental meaning of a component to fit it into a larger scheme.

Systems thinking is useful for business operations, for example. Or your life operations. We may not systematize our life operations enough, most of the time. Systematising means fitting the pieces together; it means stepping back and looking at your most important habits, projects, tasks, and developing a thought-after system around those. This is incredibly valuable in the long term if you believe in the power of habits to progress in your life.
