Grow willpower? It's not a sprint, the harder thing is sustaining willpower. The trick is balance. Force yourself to take breaks and give yourself rewards. I finished a big piece of code on Tuesday and went for a bike ride to the Persidio. Exercise is also a great way to deal with stress. Eat well, splurge a little and make sure you are eating foods high in Omega-3. Your brain will thank you. Talk to your friends about your ideas. It is energizing evangelizing your ideas and getting people passionate. Doing so over a pint at the Toronado is a bonus. And finally have fun! We have one life to live, do something that you deeply care about.
