- Studies show that when people report more effort at resisting temptation, they are less likely to give in.
- Over the longer term, using more self-control or using it more frequently is unrelated to goal progress.
- The main aim would be to reduce the strong desires in the first place.
- Set up your surroundings so that temptations are less tempting.
