#Willpower
review

Interesting. I liked reading about the research studies better than I did the celebrity exempla, but the basic point that willpower is finite and fuelled by glucose is compelling.

I read/skimmed this and that‘s exactly what I‘d recommend - in addition to borrowing a copy so you can have the satisfaction of returning it! It‘s helpful to get acquainted with the ideas in it so you can try them out on yourself. I‘m working on that bit now… 😅

Moonprismpower I just finished Dare to Lead. It‘s a great workplace communication self control kind of guide! 3y
Smrloomis @Moonprismpower Thanks! I‘ll check it out 😊 3y

Hmm let‘s see how this is. I thought I read this before but as far as I can tell … that‘s just something I made up 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don‘t recognize this so I‘m looking forward to actually reading it!

“... Then you get more depressed and the next day you wake up with even fewer spoons and so you try to make spoons out of caffeine and #willpower but that never really works. The only thing that does work is realizing that your lack of spoons is not your fault, and to remind yourself of that fact over and over as you compare your fucked-up life to everyone else‘s just-as-fucked-up-but-not-as-noticeably-to-outsiders lives.” #QuotsyJan21
