This section of the article sums it up pretty nicely:

"Humans are creatures of comfort. Just like so many things in this world, we follow the path of least resistance. With access to technology being ubiquitous, and ChatGPT being so widely available, to choose not to use it is very hard. You need to deliberately prioritize your growth and choose to go against the current. You need to deliberately introduce friction to the process."

But I’m not agreeing with that statement. I don’t think its a good mental model. If you don’t have candies at home it will be easier to eat healthy. I don’t think deliberately having them at home will lead to more growth, it will just increase the likelihood of failure.

Willpower to me seems more like a limited resource that should be invested (and is I agree trainable to a degree) wisely to maximize growth
