Most of what we call decisions are really just patterns running on autopilot. The work is learning to see them.
You don't have a willpower problem. You have a pattern problem. There's a difference, and noticing it is the entire game.
What a pattern actually is
A pattern is a default. It's the move you make when you stop paying attention. The drink at 6pm. The scroll at midnight. The fight you pick when someone gets too close.
"You can't out-discipline a pattern you haven't named."

Name it first. Change it second. Most people try to do those in the wrong order and wonder why nothing sticks.
