The Average Person Spends Four hours of their Day Battling Temptation

I am reading a new book by social psychologist Roy F. Baumeister & journalist John Tierney entitled Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength. According to the authors, the average person spends four hours or more each day resisting temptation: Temptation to slack off at work and check facebook, to eat unhealthy foods, or even to engage in sex or other activities.



Does surfing the web to look for blog-fodder count as temptation? What if blogging is your job? Does it count as willpower then?



What temptations have you resisted lately, and which ones have you given in to?
