Scott Adams's blog has an entertaining piece about self-control today:

and the information to which he links is here:

Basically, exercising self-control takes effort, and we have limited resources. Hooray for no-s, which helps set automatic habits so that self-control resources are less stretched!

Thought-provoking... and rings true.

Yup, habit-building is definitely the way to go.

Very funny... yeah, the fact that you have "limited reserves of willpower" is at the core of No-s. Use whatever remains to fend off amorous cartoonists, ladies

Fascinating!
Thanks for sharing.

This might happily explain why my ability to focus on tasks at hand and my productivity has gone through the roof on No S ... all that RELEASED self-control ... previously used for food/eating issues is freed up for life and the living of it!
