Slef-disciple... Do I really need it?

Self-discipline is one of the most critical life skills to learn for those just starting out in life (and everyone else!).

First and foremost, how do you get motivated to begin? Most of us don’t want to consider our lack of discipline, let alone taking a series of steps to address it.

  • Begin by taking small steps to improve things.
  • Do the things that cause you the least amount of pain.
  • Push yourself to a point of frustration so that you can improve over time.
  • With some practice, you can improve your self-discipline.
  1. Desire to serve others — if you improve your exercise or healthy eating habits, for example, you can assist your elderly parents in doing so. You will support more people with that meaningful job if you get better at not procrastinating on your life’s work. More on this in the segment below titled “Focus on Others.”
  2. Appreciating life — we only have a short time on this planet, and each day is a gift. We are not completely appreciating the blessing we have when we procrastinate and give in to constant distractions, failing to make the most of our time. Instead, we will value it by being present, thankful, and deliberate about how we spend our time.

Self-discipline vs self-control

A common misconception is to think of self-discipline as self-control.

  • Self-discipline is about taking action regardless of how you feel. It is to act according to your thoughts, not your feelings. You don't need to feel motivated when you know what ...

Writing as self-discipline

The reason why we don’t do anything useful with our time is that we lack self-discipline.

But when you write every day, you strengthen your discipline. And you can transfer that better self-discipline to achieve anything in life.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
