 So in this video we're going to talk about willpower which is a topic I don't usually talk about because I don't, I'm not one of these people who are like you know oh you know you have to use willpower all the time and think about willpower but there is one key place in your life where you have to be really observant of willpower and that's the distinction between start of the day and end of the day you know people would say oh your willpower is is limited it's diminishing it you know it can replenish it by doing this or that this takes willpower this doesn't take willpower but from my observation usually if you're taking action you know healthy and your life is overall okay there's only two distinctions you need to make and that's morning willpower and that's evening lack of willpower so I have my daily set of goals the daily things that I need to accomplish in order to make my dreams a reality and when I said these goals I have specific goals that I don't allow myself to to procrastinate on so you know in my like my day like most of people watching this is you know it you wake up you do your thing and then you leave the house to do stuff you know go to work go to you know do sports or whatever you do but you usually leave the house like it's very where that you get somebody who doesn't leave the house and just does everything in the house so I have a rule that I will not leave my house before I finish all the big hard stuff that I won't be able to do late at night because when it's morning I can trust myself you know when is the beginning of the day the middle of the day I can trust myself to do whatever I want so if I have a goal to meditate for an hour I know I'm going to have the willpower or the discipline to sit down and do it if it's writing 10 pages for my book I know I'll sit down and I'll do it but if it's the end of the day and this is something that I honestly I fell on many many times before I discovered this principle I would you know I would spend my day and I would not prioritize which goals I would do first because I would say okay I have enough time in the day to just do them all so I would do this and then this and then this and then this you know I'd work out and then I'd make a video and then I'd read for an hour and then I'd make another video and increase my Instagram and also write an article and I would do everything and you know unknowingly I would basically procrastinate on the two hardest habits you know the two habits that require the most willpower which were meditation and writing 10 pages every day for my book so what would happen I would I wake up usually at 10 a.m. and I get back to the house at like midnight and and then I still have meditation and the writing remaining but I know now from experience that after 12 I can't trust myself like after midnight I can't trust myself to do what I need what I should do I can trust myself after midnight to maybe make a video I've done that you know most of the time like 75 80 percent of the time I would still make a video after midnight if it's you know adding people on Instagram maybe writing an article I can like you know just like scratch something up working out you know I can do some push-ups and pull-ups and you know call it a day but but writing and meditation are very consuming activities consuming in terms of you know emotionally they're not easy so I learned that I'm not allowed to leave the house before I do these and since then my consistency has gone back to perfect again because once I took these out of the equation it's like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders because now I don't have that you know in the back of my mind like oh there's this habit that I might not do today you know and I should have done it earlier when am I going to do it you know it's called eating the frog you know you want to eat the frog because it's like you know you want to do the ugly habits earlier and I would always despise it you know when people would say oh eat the frog eat the frog you know it would always be like oh fuck it you know I like I like accomplishing goals I don't want to do that shit where you do the hardest thing first thing in the morning that sounds so bad sounds like it sucks so I basically broaden the definition a bit and now I know why it's so important and viable and instead of saying okay I'll have to meditate the moment I wake up because for me you know just makes it not fun and if it's not fun I don't want to do it but but I just say okay I'll only leave the house after meditating so let's say I was so about to live at 12 you know at noon I'd see oh I still didn't meditate so no problem I'll just sit down meditate I'll write down whatever I need to write and then I'll give myself permission to leave and that's a really really simple solution so if you find yourself procrastinating on habits you know things that you know you should do but you just don't do them you know again meditation maybe even you know approaching women making sales calls writing something you should write just keep a trigger for an early time in the morning like a constraint like I cannot leave the house before this for example and that's an easy easy way to guarantee that you will be consistent with this and that you will accomplish it so I hope this tip helps you and let me
