Realizable New Years Resolutions — Environment vs Willpower

Your willpower won’t be enough. 

Even if you’re a Navy SEAL, a Tibetan monk, or a Catholic nun. They know that it’s not willpower that keeps them disciplined. It’s their environment. 

So set yourself up for success by creating the right environment. Remove temptation. Add the proper structure. Surround yourself with the right people at the right time. Spend the money. 

Make the right thing to do the easy thing to do.

Fix the environment, and the required discipline becomes a side effect.
