"Find ways to automate your behavior beforehand rather than relying on willpower in the moment."

This is one of my favorite pieces of advice for keeping my goals on track. Examples from my own life include:
- Not having the Facebook app or games on my phone
- Paying for a class to learn a new hobby (instead of saying that I'll teach myself... because I won't!)
- Schedule reoccurring Craft Nights with my friends for the year. I love hosting craft nights. Setting them in advance takes any decisions out of the equation.
