Willpower vs systems

The ultimate test of a habit system is when willpower is low.

Would you still do it on your worst days?

If yes, then you own the habit.
If not, you don’t have a habit yet.

Right now, I’m feeling it.

Super low on willpower. Every day.
Every day, my every minute is optimized to deliver on work.
What little pockets of time I get—if I’m lucky, 2h, most days 1h, sometimes 30min—I spend it on my habits.

Exercise every morning.
1 code commit a day.
100 words a day.
1 tweet a day.

I’m virtually unable to muster up my will for anything else. Yet these systems keep me going.

Thankfully.
Gratefully.

Progress is still slow. Painfully slow.
But at least it is non-zero.

Even 1% every day compounds.
