Structure Creates Freedom

Caffeinated Thought of the Week:

The book Process explores how discipline and consistency are key to liberating both you and your business. The most impactful idea for me was that a process doesn’t destroy freedom; it creates it. The goal is to systemize predictable aspects of your life/work, allowing you to focus on and personalize the exceptional parts. I think of it as reserving mental energy for areas of my life that require deep thought, creativity, or action, acknowledging the reality of decision fatigue. For example, instead of scrambling to pay bills each month, setting up automatic payments for recurring bills ensures timely payments and reduces the mental burden of remembering due dates, thus avoiding late fees.

Here is an article that digs in deeper about this how structure creates freedom.
