# Pre-commitment Pre-commitments are a way to avoid using [[Decision-making power]] and [[Willpower (MoC)|Willpower]] needlessly. They help move towards our goals by removing barriers to start the activities that we need to start. Instead of using decision-making power, pre-commitments adapt and/or take advantage of the environment to make decision-making effortless, effectively making it easy to do the hard things. One way is to use a [[Pre-commitment device]].
