Many of us have wished to have more willpower. That's because we have this notion that having more willpower will help us accomplish more. However, researches are increasingly pointing to an alternative framework, and challenging our understanding on how willpower works.

HeroMode can be used in many different ways. In today's post, I describe how I use HeroMode to break my Reddit habit. These are the steps I took:

• Creating an Adventure called "Bye bye Reddit"
• Within this Adventure, set up a daily repeat quest for "No Reddit today"
• I used to browse Reddit most heavily at night, so I have this repeat quest automatically created at 10pm each day
• Each day, I try to complete the quest of "No Reddit today"
• With Activity Calendar and Streak, I have been able to stay away from Reddit over the last few months!
