I have virtually none xD
I tried to quit codex (temporarily) like 10 times, and ended up back on codex within hours each time lol. Sticking to schedules never works either. I always procrastinate :p And can never stop playing games in time. "Just another round then I'll stop"

    I have no willpower. Maybe even a negative amount.

    I have a lot of will power, I can keep going at impossible odds. I always liked the fact that I can do anything i set my mind to except fly..

    Very little will power, I cannot commit to a ddr schedule to lose weight, and I cannot stop with the friggin candy :(

    Nor for some reason can I ever find enough drive to get my life where it should be :(

    Depends. If it's something I care about, I'll do it. But if it's homework... nope.

    Eh, I figure I have a fair amount. I've already put up a goal for the summer, running 1mile, 100pushups and 200crunches a day. I've done it so far! :p

    None at all. If I try to study for anything, I give up after 5 minutes.

    Not much at all. I procrastinate alot, and I rarely stick to daily goals I set myself. I set a goal to run like 3 miles every Tuesday, and after 3 weeks (9 miles) i'd already quit :p

    Depends... if I wanted to do it or not... If I was gonna try to not use the computer, I COULD, but eventually I'd come back and be an uber-noob... so to hell with that.

    I would say it's pretty good, only when I need to get something done really badly, or if there is something of very high importance :p

    Like when codex went down. While that time I had a big assignment for accounting, and I procrastinate so I didn't do it. And I look at codex and I'm like oh it's down. Then when it came back up (people told me) I hesitated to go until I finished my assignment, which is like a couple days after :p

    I have willpower, I'm just lazy. Unless it's vital (like a job or school) that I can't modify, then I can put my mind to it and do it. However, I am very very VERY lazy when it comes to doing things. For example, I can become so lazy to the point where I don't feel like sleeping because it requires getting out of the chair and closing my eyes.

    My willpower is.. nonexistant :crybaby:

    Recently got to playing Maple again.. so my schedule for the past 2 or 3 days went like this
    Come home from school at 5:00PM
    5:00PM-10:00 Play Maple with a dinner fit in there sometimes, probably go off to watch TV too :o ..
    10:00PM-12:00PM.. tell myself that I'll start my homework so I get off maple.. but end up either posting on codex or chatting..
    12:00PM.. tell myself.. screw it.. too tired.. I'll do my homework in school tomorow
    During my free time at school: End up just hanging out a majority of the time.. and squeeze in my homework at like the very last minute..

    .. Someone needs to slap me accross the face

    Lol... I have pretty much a will power of 0. I always tell myself OK, stop talking to your friends on AIM or "I'm going to stop playing computer games in 30 mins" and it somehow never happens <_<

    I can be angry if I say in my head 'You are angry Evan.' And sometimes depending on the circumstances I can stop and give up things.

    Hmm... I wonder why you would want to be angry in the first place... :p

    Hmmm... so your name is Evan and not Fred? The truth comes out...

    i have a bit of willpower not more than average . i can push myself to get what needs to be done, but i've never done unbelieveable things. thekey to willpower is determination and inspiration. get motivated. use something to push yourself. i run track so when im on the last leg of running i say to myself "dont stop now. you can win this. if they beat you, you let everybody down. they'll all laugh at you don't stop now"
