How to Succeed Without Trying Too Hard
76If we take the time to plan ahead and think about what will help us succeed before we start down our path, then that actually makes us more likely to succeed. You don't need to spend a long time or too much effort trying to make a new habit stick - nor is it about being a genius - it's about how you set yourself up to win.
What is a Ulysses Contract? It's something that the Greek hero Odysseus (Ulysses in Roman mythology) did when he was trying to get home after the Trojan War. He'd heard of the Sirens, monsters who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island.
So what did Odysseus do? He had his men tie him to the mast of the ship and block his ears with wax. That way he couldn't hear them or get loose, so he couldn't get into trouble with the Sirens.
And that's exactly what we're going to do today: we're going to set up conditions in our lives so that we can succeed without having to rely on willpower later!
