Really enjoyed this Vox article about the fallacy of willpower. So many applications.
From a financial planning perspective items #1 and #2 in the “what we can learn from people who are good at self-control” section hit close to home – the former b/c we’ve found clients that make choices as opposed to being forced down a particular path are happier and the latter b/c it’s always been an Apollo focus that strategies should be carefully crafted, practiced constantly and be sustainable/repeatable.
It isn’t sexy or exciting but it works.
