Self Control Made Easy
Summary
- I believe in making self-control easier by creating favorable environments, rather than relying solely on willpower.
- It's important to recognize that everyone has a limited amount of willpower to 'grit through' challenging situations.
- I suggest engineering your surroundings and circumstances to support the actions you want to take.
- Adopting this approach increases the likelihood of achieving your desired outcomes.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing changes to your environment to make self-control a bit easier. For example, if you want to eat healthier, fill your fridge with fruits and veggies. If you're an entrepreneur looking to focus, clear your workspace of distractions. This way, you don't have to use up all your willpower trying to resist temptations.
Here's how you can start:
- Think about what you want to achieve. Maybe it's exercising more, getting better at managing money, or spending time growing your business. Keep it simple to start.
- Next, look at your daily routine. Find the things that make it hard for you to meet your goals. If you want to save money but keep going out to eat, start by making meals at home.
- Change your environment to help you. If exercise is your goal, keep your gym shoes by the door. This way, it's easier to remember and go for a run or to the gym.
- Make these changes one at a time, so you don't get overwhelmed.
- Remember, the goal here is to make the actions you want to take as easy as possible.
- Give it some time and see how these small changes help you act the way you want without needing to rely on willpower alone.
Small steps like these make a big difference. And they don't cost a lot of money or time. But they can help you get closer to your goals much faster.
