System Thinking and Layered Tasks

When studying systems thinking, we come across many systems with multiple layers to them. These layers can be used to achieve our goals, both in our personal and professional lives.

For example, incorporating multiple layers into your exercise routine can make it more engaging and efficient. I personally use layers such as listening to music, riding a recumbent exercise bike, and reading or writing at the same time. This keeps my attention on something interesting and makes the time fly by while still getting daily exercise.

Additionally, incorporating layers into tasks such as folding laundry or cleaning the house can make them more enjoyable and efficient. This layering approach can also be applied to other areas, such as using your commute to practice speaking or incorporating a social element into working out. You could create study groups to make studying more bearable. You could join a book club or read by the pool while soaking up some sun.

The key is to find ways to layer your approach to improvement in a strategic way, as it can enhance your efforts and make it easier to establish new habits. You can become more efficient, more consistent, and enjoy those tasks more by creating layers.
