3) Gain unstoppable willpower!

Eat something.

From my interview with willpower researcher Roy Baumeister:

Eric: What's the easiest way to increase willpower when you're tapped out?

Roy: Just eat something. In the lab we use sugary snacks, which I don't really recommend people use in their own life because they're not that good for you. We use it in the lab because we need something that works really fast and sugar gives you a quick burst of energy. Unfortunately, it's then followed by a quick crash. Your metabolic energy goes up and then it comes down again in a big way. Eat something, like protein, that your body will burn over a longer period of time.
