A brief YouTube short by TJ Walker arguing that willpower is undermined by environments designed to tempt people; instead of relying on inner discipline, Walker advises reshaping one’s environment (e.g., avoiding bars, gambling destinations, or all-you-can-eat buffets) to make self-control easier. The clip closes with an exhortation to follow the speaker’s habit.
Realize your environment is designed to destroy your willpower. The people who appear to have the most willpower simply spend more time adjusting their environment. People who drink too much, who are smart, realize, let me stay away from the bar. People who love to gamble don't book their vacations to Atlantic City or to Las Vegas. I love to eat, but I avoid all you can eat buffets. Forget added willpower and discipline. Instead, focus on the design of your environment. You'll be a lot better off. Please follow the TJ Walker habit.
