This seems a bit too generalized. Certainly any situational/physical adjustment which allows one to achieve the same results with less willpower is a good idea. Like not having any ice cream in the house or using the Cold Turkey app on one's laptop. But I am not sure what you mean by "mental settings". Asking people around seems pretty situational. Do you have any other examples of mental settings?
How about intentionally surrounding yourself with people who are excited about the thing you want to be excited about?
While this is a good idea, it may not always be practical. Many other factors go into setting which people surround you.
Your identity (though be wary), what types of people you interact with, what types of media you consume, etc. Not all of these are necessarily usable for any specific case-- I believe the principle and mindset is more important than the specific levers you use to change your settings.
