The New York Times reports that while exercising willpower in one area of your life will reduce it in others, practicing willpower improves your capacity for keeping yourself in check overall.
The brain has a limited capacity for self-regulation, so exerting willpower in one area often leads to backsliding in others. The good news, however, is that practice increases willpower capacity, so that in the long run, buying less now may improve our ability to achieve future goals—like losing those 10 pounds we gained when we weren't out shopping. This means that you should pursue one or two goals at a time, and let the other stuff go. Then, when you achieve them, you can move onto the next accomplishment.

Marketing VP Steve Rubel says that daily practice and research in any field over the span of several years can turn anyone into an expert, as long as you put in the effort.
Anyone with just even a little bit of natural talent in a given domain can master it in about 10 years by methodically practicing the essence of their craft two hours daily (including weekends) and measuring their progress from one day to the next. This seems like an obvious piece of advice, but it's not what anyone wants to hear when they ask "how can I get where you are?" There's no magic potion—it's just learning over time, consistently.
