ملخص كتاب علم الانضباط الذاتي: أهم الأفكار والدروس

أهم الأفكار

• **Discipline is a Biological Battle**: The war between the Prefrontal Cortex (rational CEO) and the Limbic System (emotional child)—willpower is finite and depletes like glucose throughout the day (Ego Depletion).

• **Implementation Intentions (If/Then)**: Pre-program behavior with scripts like 'If it's 6 PM, then I put on running shoes'—this removes the need for in-the-moment willpower by having your past rational self make the decision.
