Willpower: I learned the easiest way to self-control

• Sleep on the floor for a month
• Eat potatoes for a week
• Shut down your mobile phone for a week

Successful people like Prophet Muhammad ( Peace Be Upon Him ) or the Stoics used to make themselves uncomfortable until they were comfortable with being uncomfortable.

The one thing I learned from my research was that willpower on command is a lie. Saying to yourself that you are not going to eat that cookie just simply doesn’t work.

Willpower is actually a muscle. And by being uncomfortable slowly, you are training your willpower muscle to grow.

Willpower is highest in the morning and lowest in the afternoon. Do your willpower draining task as the first thing in the day.
