Simple Pickup, the YouTube guys most known for their silly and creative ways to pick up girls, went in a lot more serious direction this week in their video about overcoming laziness. Their first point, that motivation is temporary, is something I totally agree with. Motivation helps, and you need to channel your why often to keep going, but that alone is not enough. The key is to set up systems that ensure that you do things repeatedly and ingrain them into you. Willpower won’t work in finance, in fitness, or your career. Turn to systems and habits, and the rest will take care of itself.
