I tend to agree with Biju that it depends on what you are attempting. I was 
desperate to try and quit smoking for many years, and  finally managed in 2008 
( till now!) after at least five major attempts. 

On the other hand, things like staying with a particular book after it fails to 
grip me after fifty pages is not worth the effort. 

I belong to the ‘will power is a limited and perishable commodity’ school, so 
find it easier to quit on  what I think is non vital
