Do things that you are actually interested in. Seriously. It makes life MUCH easier and it's easier to be productive. That being said, willpower is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. Practice willpower whenever you can.. for example, try not zipping up your jacket when it's cold. (I'm talking about mental-discomfort cold, not hypothermia-cold.) My friends are all amazed at my willpower at things like dieting, and the truth is I just build willpower by practicing on the little things. In conclusion, as Eckhart Tolle says, when used correctly, the mind is a powerful tool. Otherwise, your mind uses you.
