It’s said that life is a marathon rather than a sprint. But I think it’s mix of both. More challenge one takes on, more they have to sprint. To me this favors willpower (shorter bursts) than discipline (long periods).
Obviously one needs to brush teeth every day, but that’s in my book a habit. It becomes fairly automatic and low stakes over time. But pushing through a final in a school, or working on a presentation for your boss on Friday night is different.
Willpower also favors lazy people like me. It allows me to do whatever most of the time and then push hard for short bursts.
