Re:How do you grow willpower? by aschobel on Friday April 04, 2008 @12:32AM (#154540)
Grow willpower? It's not a sprint, the harder thing is sustaining willpower.

The trick is balance.

Force yourself to take breaks and give yourself rewards. I finished a big piece of code on Tuesday and went for a bike ride to the Persidio. Exercise is also a great way to deal with stress.

Eat well, splurge a little and make sure you are eating foods high in Omega-3. Your brain will thank you.

Talk to your friends about your ideas. It is energizing evangelizing your ideas and getting people passionate. Doing so over a pint at the Toronado is a bonus.

And finally have fun! We have one life to live, do something that you deeply care about.
