7. Find A Source Of Inspiration And Abuse It

Daniel Kahneman details how willpower is actually a finite mental resource in his famous book, Thinking Fast and Slow, and that expending large amounts of mental effort weaken one’s resolve. This is perfectly natural and should not be viewed as weakness. Instead, recognize that you only have so much willpower, inspiration, and discipline in the tank before you have to take a break. Treat sources of inspiration like food and drink; feast on them in order to replenish your store of willpower and determination.
