Integrity becomes instinct through repetition.

Integrity performed by deliberation is slow and unreliable, because deliberation can be worn down by tiredness, pressure, or a good argument. Repetition moves it below the level of debate, so that the honest response arrives before the calculation does. That is not rigidity. It is the point at which the value has become part of how you operate.

Stop treating small honest choices as separate decisions. Do them the same way enough times that they stop feeling like choices at all. Consistency here buys you speed later.
