What’s this “willpower” thing, then?

If you get an answer to that, please let me know too

That's the thing your boss tells you to have when you don't want to do anymore unpaid overtime, or that thing your wife/parents/SO tells you to have when you don't want to do that troublesome chore.

No wonder I haven't heard about it!
