part three summary
Willpower can be used up. I need it to get up early and go Lab on time. I also need it to remind me that snackes are not healthy and I should have meals at cateen of school. Most importantly, I need it to keep me focused on my researches at worktime. But, the good news is that we can exercise it each day like a muscle to build strength for all our willpower challenges. Just pick one willpower challenge and exercise it as much as you can.
