In this brief monologue, David Brimacombe reflects on a key insight he gained from James Clear’s Atomic Habits: lasting outcomes stem from the systems and daily habits we build rather than from abstract goals. He emphasizes that each daily action functions as a "vote" for the person we will become, reinforcing a self‑identity aligned with those choices. Brimacombe connects this habit‑based framework to PCS (Post‑Concussion Syndrome) recovery, suggesting that every recovery‑related decision is a vote shaping one’s future self and identity.

Now, it came to me after reading the book Atomic Habits, okay, by James Clear. The concept that our systems are what is going to determine the outcomes in our lives, not so much those goals, okay? Because every day, okay, every day those actions that you take are a vote for your future self. You're creating systems and protocols that are actually going to reinforce that this is who I'm becoming.
