A short YouTube video by TJ Walker arguing that self-control may not be an innate trait but rather practical planning for future outcomes. Walker gives examples (car maintenance, choosing restaurants) to show planning prevents poor outcomes and frames self-control as actionable planning; ends with a call to 'follow the TJ Walker habit.'
Everybody wants self control. More self control. It seems like that would cure all your problems being wealthier, thinner, healthier. And yet, what if there were really no such thing? What if self control were really just about planning ahead? You plan ahead to get your car brakes checked before they brake and you run into a mountain or another car. You plan to go to a restaurant that does not have an all you can eat buffet because you don't want to become a glutton. Self control? Maybe it exists, but what does exist is simply planning for the future in a way that will benefit you. That's something you can do right now. Please follow the TJ Walker habit.
