Habits
Temptation Buffering
Temptation buffering puts distance between you and triggers—environment and planning changes that beat relying on willpower alone.
Temptation buffering adds distance between you and triggers—no junk food at home, social meals planned with protein first, phones in another room during focus blocks. It reduces willpower spend more than boosting discipline.
Buffers fail if environments reset weekly; redesign once, maintain defaults.
Common questions
-
How is temptation buffering different from bundling?
