Success isn’t that difficult; it merely involves taking twenty steps in a singular direction. Most people take one step in twenty directions.

“Work hard, play hard” is a good mantra to live by but it needs some adjusting for this day and age. We need to add the idea that we must do each in a different place if we want to be the most efficient.When you intentionally designate one space for work and one for play, you optimize your body’s ability to work hard and recover. Set aside a room as your office where you only work, and another for relaxation, where you only spend time relaxing.

Designate Specific, Separate Places For Work and Play

When designing your environment for success, take this no-nonsense attitude into your efforts. Start by clearing up your phone from distractions. Get rid of the time-waster apps that are your go-to’s when you’re tired or bored from working.If you’re trying to eat healthier and lose weight, go to your closet and throw away all sugary foods immediately.

Eliminate Stuff That Requires Willpower To Resist

Getting enough self-discipline to get stuff done is tough. What if there was a way you could become ultra-productive and reach your dreams without having to just push through in misery? Here is how:<ul><li>Intentionally design your environment for success instead of worrying about willpower.</li><li>Optimize separate spaces for work and play for maximum productivity and fulfilment.</li><li>Quickly and firmly get rid of anything and everything that makes reaching your goals harder and requires willpower to resist. </li></ul>

The Premise

If you want a different life, you must be a different person.

If we can intentionally design our environment, we’ll make improving ourselves easy.The two types of evolution:<ul><li>Natural Evolution, which is where organisms evolve based on their situations. </li><li>Domesticated Evolution, that involves controlling the environment of an organism to make it evolve as you want it to. </li></ul>Most often we just let ourselves evolve naturally, succumbing to the negative effects of a world that tries to make us fat, depressed, and in debt. But when we intentionally design our environment, everything changes.

The Psychology of Willpower

We rely on willpower to create change in our lives...but what if we're thinking about it all wrong? In Willpower Doesn't Work, Benjamin Hardy explains that willpower is nothing more than a dangerous fad-one that is bound to lead to failure. Instead of "white-knuckling" your way to change, you need to instead alter your surroundings to support your goals. This book shows you how. The world around us is fast-paced, confusing, and full of distractions. It's easy to lose focus on what you want to achieve, and your willpower won't last long if your environment is in conflict with your goals--eventually, the environment will win out. Willpower Doesn't Work is the needed guided for today's over-stimulating and addicting environment. Willpower Doesn't Work will specifically teach you: How to make the biggest decisions of your life--and why those decisions must be made in specific settings How to create a daily "sacred" environment to live your life with intention, and not get sucked into the cultural addictions How to invest big in yourself to upgrade your environment and mindset How to put "forcing functions" in your life--so your default behaviors are precisely what you want them to be How to quickly put yourself in proximity to the most successful people in the world--and how to adapt their knowledge and skills to yourself even quicker How to create an environment where endless creativity and boundless productivity is the norm Benjamin Hardy will show you that nurture is far more powerful than your nature, and teach you how to create and control your environment so your environment will not create and control you.

Understand yourself and those around you.
