So we got to pick one bottleneck and you put that in a chokehold and you keep it for seven days straight.

And that's how your life starts actually moving.

E, engineer ease.

So the part that people hate because it kills the fantasy is

Discipline is not a signal of high character.

It's a signal you respect systems that keep you disciplined.

Believe it or not, a lack of discipline tends to be a design problem.

It's not you.

And usually I say it's you.

It's the brain is not wired to chase abstract, long-term potential greatness.

You know, I think about this like this guy by the name of Roy Baumeister's research.

So he was at the Florida State and found that willpower is a finite resource, like it depletes like a muscle through use.

And once it's gone, your brain defaults to whatever requires the least effort.

So that means every decision you make throughout the day, every time you resist, choose, kind of

draws from the same reservoir, like water going down.

So by the evening, your kid's like, can I have that ice cream?

You're like, fuck it, have two, right?

And the bad choice is still sitting right there because it's easy and waiting.

So you do it.

And when you keep making the wrong call, you know, it's not that you're lazy.
