How come some people seem to have unlimited willpower with the ability to push through anything? Today we explore what willpower is, and how anyone can build it stronger.

"The more voluntary suffering you build into your life, the less involuntary suffering will affect your life." - Tim Ferriss

This quote by Tim Ferriss inspired the episode of today. We look into how to build will power and stop procrastination by making it easy to choose your challenges today.

-- Today's episode is a personal development episode, where Erik Bergman and Emil Ekvardt explore topics about how to grow as a person.

We are both personal development junkies and spend many hours every week sharing our ideas and reading about new things. This episode is great for you who want to learn about our latest perspective. We share lots of personal stories, talk about how it applies in our lives, and where we have learned it from. --

There are lots of different things that play into how to build will power and stop procrastination. We touch upon various areas where it is important, from food and exercise to porn and alcohol. The general idea is that either you make an effort to deal with discomfort today, or the future will bring you discomfort in the shape of bad health, bad economy, and bad relationships.
