Description
Our lives are full of temptations that tax our self-control and drain our willpower, but a new and growing body of research says you can make it through the day without losing your cool --and it isn't as hard as you think.
Procrastination is an almost universal vice--95% of people admit to doing it at least sometimes (and we have no idea who those other 5% are--or whom they're trying to kid). Psychologists have often blamed procrastination on a compulsion to do things perfectly. That sounds right, but Dr. Baumeister and Dianne Tice, PhD, a psychologist at Florida State University, discovered that impulsiveness is more likely behind it. When procrastinators are anxious or bored, they give in to the urge to improve their moods by doing something else. But they're mostly kidding themselves: Eventually, the bill comes due and procrastinators suffer considerably more willpower-depleting stress (and get sick more) than those who work on a schedule
Willpower is nothing but the power of choice. When you begin to see the choices in each of the decisions that you make, and start to consciously choose what you decide on, you will develop a good amount of willpower!
This book will help you to become aware of your will power:
Become aware of situations where you feel you lack a choice (in other words, where you lack willpower).
It will also help you to identify your will power
Identify a way in which you can do whatever you feel you're forced to do, but in a way that you will enjoy it. Give yourself a reward every time you do something which you do not like (lacked will power to do earlier) literally you are bribing yourself.
Lastly: Motivate yourself to practice willpower by rewarding yourself for your accomplishments. Set up your rewards ahead of time so that you know what you're working toward.
