Stimulate growth of new neural pathways, more oxytocin and serotonin, and sleep (aging is caused by lack of recovery).

Balance have-tos with want-tos: Determine which tasks are “want-to” and “have-to”. Create additional “want-to” tasks to ensure there are equal number of both. Rank the “have-to” tasks by priority. Alternate the “want-to” and “have-to” tasks.
When you fail in your self control it’s because you’re motivated to keep an optimal balance between have-to and want-to tasks. The way to resolve feelings of inefficacy, and to recover from burnout, is to create an ideal balance between your have-tos and want-tos.
