It’s very hard to stop doing something. You mostly can’t just stop. You need some other, unrelated method to accidentally disintegrate the thing, evaporate, or blow it up. The quest then, is to find the methods. They are going to be oblique to the thing you're trying to work on.

we need to talk

curious about this comment, since we have talked? Feels like you're promoing yourself

It was more meant as a joke and mild disagreement with the premise

So it's not "very hard" to stop doing something, it's easier than that, generally? It's not "mostly you can't just stop", it's more like "actually you CAN just stop", with ordinary every day Will and no Special Methods?

It's "it is possible to just stop, though it is something you need to know how to do, and framing it as something that is very hard to do makes it harder to do"
