Have you ever said, “I just have no willpower”?

Yeah, me too.

But what if the problem isn’t that you’re weak—or that you don’t want it bad enough? What if the real issue is that you’re trying to use willpower the wrong way… at the wrong time?

In this episode, I’m breaking down what I learned from Gary Keller’s The One Thing, along with my own experience, about how willpower actually works—and why most people are burning it up without even realizing it.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why willpower is a fast-twitch muscle, not a forever resource
  • How to stop defaulting to bad habits when your energy runs out
  • What to do when you need willpower in the evening, not just the morning
  • The difference between discipline and design
  • Why it’s not about being strong—it’s about sequencing your life right

If you’re tired of starting strong and finishing flat, if you keep beating yourself up for “caving” at night, or if you want to create a life that makes doing the right thing feel a little easier,

This one’s for you.

Let’s stop relying on willpower and start building rhythm.
