(a): Willpower is a useful burst power-up, but the routines/norms/sense of self we build around our own habits defend themselves; most people succumb — we see this in the stats for all kinds of lifestyle changes (re: diet, exercise, intoxicants, etc.) https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1099502234411270144 …
(b): People who get exceptionally good at anything do "work hard" & "practice" a lot, but so do many people who never excel. Why? Innate talent? Maybe not — on close observation, top performers tend to *do better things,* not just do standard things betterhttps://twitter.com/patrickc/status/1076237571527663616 …
"I'll push myself to do more x for better outcomes" seems to fall into both implied traps: "pushing yourself" implies a strategy built on a sustained willpower most of us just don't have, and "doing more" of the same x can generally be expected to yield lackluster improvements
I also believe these traps are *combinatorially* damaging: Brute-forcing behavior without realtime mental buy-in demolishes focus, curiosity and creativity... ...and doing the same thing over and over well past the point you'd like to stop drains willpower like little else.
Working Smart instead of just Working Hard makes sense. However, Innate Talent does contribute tremendously to success.
An eye-opening realization for me. Selling my soul to corporate atm (right after uni) and I see loads of hard-working people; without that amounting to something *really* significant. I'm now trying to firstly optimize on what I work on; and only secondly on how hard.
