You don’t need heroic willpower

“The people with the best self-control are typically the ones who need to use it the least. It's easier to practice self-restraint when you don't have to use it very often. So, yes, perseverance, grit, and willpower are essential to success, but the way to improve these qualities is not by wishing you were a more disciplined person, but by creating a more disciplined environment.”
–James Clear, Atomic Habits

Success and progress are not about heroic willpower or an unbreakable mindset. They’re about consistency and conviction. 

Do you have the systems in place that contribute to consistency in your craft? 

What might those look like for you?
