Running the system

Creating a system has three steps.

Step 1: Realizing that a system can be in place.

Step 2: Creating the system.

Step 3: Run the system.

Each step has its challenges, but they are truly separate steps.

For high school students, I think the final step – actually following through and running the system – is the most important.  Running the system doesn’t give you an excuse for not doing the important work.
