Systematic people never make it!
If you broadly categorize people based on how systematic or spontaneous they are, you'll see most entrepreneurs are spontaneous and most skilled people are systematic. Because it takes systematic efforts to be really skilled, so they kind of have this ingrained into them.
The more systematic you are, the more you are prone to analyze ( sometimes over-analyze ) things, because you believe in optimizing your efforts.
Unfortunately, this paralyzes you from trying new things and hinders real growth.
If you are not systematic, however, you risk losing and being totally unsuccessful as well, because, not all spontaneous people end up becoming entrepreneurs- in fact more than 90% of them end up broke.
So the key idea is to balance the two.
What I think that works is dividing your week into systematic and spontaneous part.
Weekdays can be systematic, weekends can be spontaneous.
On Weekdays:
Morning : journal, exercise, plan, read
Day : job, network, knowledge
Evening : recharge, side hustle
On Weekends:
Morning : Do whatever
Day : Explore whatever
Evening : Rest
