Several times in my life I have seen what I thought were crises of willpower turn on silly contingent circumstances. * Huge procrastination problem in college melted away as soon as I started working 9-5 in an office. * Couldn't run 5 minutes, until I incidentally started wearing a smart-watch, tried running again, and noticed the heart rate monitor telling me to slow down. * Doom-scrolling trances easily broken by shutting down the computer or putting the phone out of arm's reach. I don't think any particular advice in the self-help genre is likely to be true, but these "one weird trick" style solutions do keep on working for me.
