Personalized Systems

People are more likely to follow systems they help identify and understand. D and I archetypes often need more structure before action, while S and C archetypes often need timelines and pressure to act. The same productivity tool can help one archetype and hinder another. Systems should reduce friction, fit the person’s archetype, and move the person toward defined outcomes. Systems can include calendars, shared documents, forms, automation, templates, accountability structures, feedback loops, and organized folders. A useful system is a repeatable structure that helps move from intention to execution.
