'''2.''' Get enough sleep. Tired people have lower levels of willpower.
'''3.''' Bright lines method (Making steadfast rules that you absolutely commit to. For example, a person committing to eating healthier making a steadfast rule not to go into convenience stores).
'''4.''' Set clear goals
'''5.''' Behavior monitoring (Get on scale every day for weight loss, use a spreadsheet to track daily performance, etc.)
