Understand the whole system, not just individual parts.
Every problem exists inside a system of feedback loops. Sleep → energy → exercise → sleep. Stress → impulsive spending → financial anxiety → stress. Fixing one element while ignoring the loop that creates it produces temporary relief. Sustainable change requires identifying and changing the reinforcing structures.
Draw a simple loop diagram for one recurring problem in your life. Identify where you're currently intervening and whether there's a higher-leverage point in the system.
What feedback loop is sustaining the problem you're trying to solve? What maintains the cycle even after you intervene?
