How To Improve Your Self Discipline

Choose one seriously difficult task per week and complete it no matter what. Weather, circumstances, mood swings, and other things do not matter.

Just as a solid start date can help you start strong, making the effort to write down the reasons why you want to improve can help give clarity to what you’re doing.

Self-control is often easiest when abiding by the old saying, “out of sight, out of mind.” Removing all temptations and distractions from your environment is a crucial first step when working to improve your self-discipline.

This change can be awkward and uncomfortable but this is the right step to improving your self-discipline. When your usual behavior becomes a habit, you stop using your decision-making skill. Instead, you function on auto-pilot.

Writing a goal down makes it all the more real. Hang it up somewhere you will see it often and inspire yourself at your work desk, in your bedroom, in your car, etc. Write the goal in your yearly planner. Put it on your kitchen calendar.

Try to make something in 21 days: create a website, write a book chapter, lose 6 pounds, finish a big project, etc. You will probably notice that people, circumstances, entertainments, the Internet, and many other things stand in your way of coming close to that goal. And that’s why you need to focus on that goal, think about it, imagine the results and ignore distracting factors.
