What is Willpower?

In this Game, willpower is your ability to take action, especially when it’s not the easiest or most appealing choice. It’s like choosing to push your character through a tough level in a video game when you'd rather take an easier route. Willpower is what keeps you on your path when you’d prefer to stray—whether it’s saying no to a tempting piece of cake when you’re on a diet, getting up early to train your character's physical stats, or sticking to a study routine when distractions abound. Willpower is your tool for moving your character forward in the Game, especially when your instincts or subconscious habits want to take the easy path. This is where the real effort comes into play.

Just like any resource in a game, willpower is limited and needs careful management. It’s a resource that can deplete as you make more decisions throughout your day. Making choices that require resisting an easier, more tempting option costs more willpower. But, just like in a game, there are strategies you can use to conserve and maximize this valuable resource:

• Keep Your State High: Just as your character needs rest and food to maintain energy, you need to keep yourself well-fed, rested, and balanced. When you’re hungry, tired, or feeling deprived, your willpower gauge drops fast.
• Plan Your Moves Strategically: Spread demanding tasks over several days instead of trying to accomplish everything at once. Mix in easier tasks to balance your energy use.
• Tackle High-Willpower Tasks First: Start with the most challenging or essential tasks when your willpower gauge is full. This makes the more difficult tasks achievable before your willpower depletes.
• Reduce the Need for Willpower: Just as in any game, the fewer distractions you have, the easier it is to focus. Set up your environment to minimize temptation—eliminate unnecessary choices that drain your willpower.

Where Does Willpower Come From?

"Where there’s a will, there’s a way." In the Game of Life, willpower is a resource that, like health or stamina in a game, requires effort to build and maintain. Yes, you do have a limited amount of willpower each day, and each decision costs some of this resource. Think of willpower as the energy needed to fight off enemies or obstacles in your Game. Just like trying to resist a craving or quitting a bad habit, using willpower is about pushing through the discomfort to reach a higher level in your Game.

By overstanding and managing your willpower, you can strategically guide your character through tougher levels, avoiding unnecessary setbacks and maintaining momentum. Every time you choose to exert willpower, you’re effectively leveling up, becoming stronger, and moving closer to winning your Game of Life.

It is great to have a vision, and even better to have a plan. Having a plan is great, but once you have your plan, you can supercharge it. Let’s go over practical hacks and processes you can use to habit stack, batch, and sequence all your tasks in order to reach your finish line faster by streamlining everything. With any goal and all its associated tasks, how you do the tasks and in what order can make a massive difference.

First, you will go over WHY multitasking doesn't work and why you need to eliminate it completely from your work routine. From here on out, you will not multitask with your time or days. In fact, if possible in your life, it is best to dedicate an entire day to one large goal, a linchpin move, cross it off, then do the same the next day. You will accomplish ten times more in a week if you do only one thing all day and then only one thing the next day; this is known as Fordism. Now, I realize that is not possible for everyone, and depending on what type of job you have or how many moving pieces you have in your Game of Life, you may not be able to dedicate entire days to one task as you have multiple tasks that need to get done every day. In that case, you will learn four main strategies to help streamline your tasks and reach your finish line faster by compounding your tasks.

The four main strategies you are going to go over are:
1. Habit Stacking
2. Sequencing (officially known as Fordism)
3. Time Blocking and Batching
