How the willpower gap sneaks up on you

How much willpower do you have in the morning?

How much do you have at night?

If you’re like many folks, you tend to have weaker willpower at night than in the morning.

Why?

When we use our willpower, we’re draining it.¹

That could leave us vulnerable to the willpower gap before we know it.

The willpower gap happens when we go against our better judgment or fall short of a goal because low motivation, internal equivocation, or pure mental exhaustion limits our ability to make deliberate choices.

That can cause problems for any of us — unless we know how to close the willpower gap.

And that’s the focus of this month’s Visual Insights Newsletter.
