Rules beat willpower

If it isn’t a policy, it’s optional
If it’s optional, your mood will win

Most people try to white knuckle their goals with motivation
By 3pm they’re negotiating with themselves and losing

The truth:

• Decisions drain energy

• Policies kill negotiation

• Identity hardens around rules you actually keep

I stopped arguing with myself when I wrote personal policies and made them public
No meetings before 11
Phone lives in another room during deep work
Publish one proof of work daily
Gym on calendar like a paid appointment
Sugar only on Saturdays
Suddenly there was nothing to decide
Just a script to follow

Do this today:

• Pick one domain health, money, craft

• Write three policies that remove your most common negotiations
  Examples
  I don’t open inbox before my first power block
  I train at 5pm on weekdays no swaps
  I spend the first dollar of each paycheck on investments

• Make them visible lock screen note, desk card, calendar reminders

• Add light stakes if you break a policy, pay a small fine or do a 10 minute penalty walk

• Review weekly keep, tighten, or replace

Pro tips:

• Phrase rules as I don’t not I can’t

• Protect the first domino mornings decide momentum

• Keep rules few and sharp so they survive bad days

You don’t need more discipline
You need fewer debates
