"If we want to consistently make the right choice without depending on willpower, we should focus on making the right choice as easy as possible, rather than using our energy to overcome the obstacles that make it difficult"
I really enjoyed this piece. This was a particularly insightful point. Especially when you consider that once one develops the muscle for certain choices, it becomes easier to act upon them.
This is coming from someone who still picks out her clothes the night before because she is not a morning person, and it makes the routine smoother! This example may not be a moral dilemma, but it shows it's okay to support your pain points instead of trying brute force your way through them.
