Have you ever wondered how some people can exercise such a high degree willpower and discipline while others cannot?  Would you find it surprising if I told you that it is somewhat related the reason Steve Jobs wore the same outfit  (black turtleneck) every day?     Willpower vs discipline: setting conditions for success Ego depletion, decision fatigue (taxing lazy system 2) Rituals, habits (tapping into efficient system 1) Algorithms: in then implementation intention, pre-commitments, coping ahead   What does that look like for your day?   -Daily battle rhythm: battle board -Morning ritual -Work System                   -priorities = time on calendar                   -time blocking                   -Pomodoro -Work Closeout ritual -Shutdown ritual -Sleep ritual   Take aways   -Algorithms/Systems/Habits/Rituals:  system 1 (implement more of these) -Decisions: System 2  (make less of these) -Willpower is like a muscle, it fatigues when exercised too much, you have a finite amount of it -Implement routines and habits to improve discipline by automating the key activities of your life (wake-up, exercise, work, shutdown, sleep). "Rituals" are a good way to set the conditions for success.
