Willpower and decision fatigue explained and how we can use it to reach our goals

Lets dig right into this topic because I believe the Willpower and decision fatigue explained and how we can use it to reach our goals title woke up your interest right away if you are interested in this sort of stuff. I know I am!

Our willpower gets depleted with every decision we make. This is why successful people such as Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg wears same outfit.

Conclusion:
Willpower might NOT be the best answer in order to achieve your goals.

Solution:

  1. Plan everything the night before
    – This will reduce your decision fatigue for the next day.
    – e.i : put out the outfit to wear. Prepare breakfast. Plan when to go to grocery store and have a list on what to buy. Write down your What if then List.
  2. Work on your goals first thing in the morning
    – The amount of our “willpower” is at its highest in the mornings. Why? Because we haven’t reached Decision Fatigue yet.
    so…..
    make sure to tackle your goals first 30 min in the morning.
  3. Pre-Commit
    – If you feel accountable you are more likely to stick with the commitments you’ve made.
    – e.i : Book courses with deadlines. Prepay memberships or courses you know will benefit you. Make plans to exercise with a friend. If you already promised someone to show up, you are less likely to back out.
  4. Use the 5 Second Rule
    – According to Mel Robbins whenever you have an instinct to act on something, you MUST physically move within 5 seconds. Otherwise your brain will talk you out of it.xx
