A paper by Gillebaart and Schneider addresses self-control conflicts, which occur when immediate temptations conflict with long-term goals. The article discusses strategies for achieving easier self-regulation through automatic behaviors and antecedent-focused strategies, challenging the notion that willpower alone is essential for self-control. By recognizing patterns in self-control conflicts, individuals can develop habits that mitigate temptation, making it easier to achieve lasting success without exhausting willpower.
Self-control conflicts arise when immediate desires, like indulging in junk food or playing games, impede progress towards long-term goals like health or academic success.
Effortless self-control can be achieved not through sheer will but by automatizing behaviors and developing habits that circumvent the need for willpower.
