Delay gratification

The ability to wait, resist impulses and stay with the harder long-term path compounds over time.

How I use it

I remind myself that chasing what feels good now usually weakens what I want later. Even ask yourself the thing you want is it really good for you?

Example

Finishing the work block before checking my phone, leaving entertainment for after training or staying with the difficult process instead of escaping into instant stimulation.
