You need to be disciplined in order to follow through with your commitments.
But what if you are naturally easily distracted? What if you always try to discipline yourself but you get swayed the minute a temptation comes? What can you do to become more self-disciplined?
Self-discipline takes practice. It’s not easy to develop that you just say you’re going to be disciplined and you will automatically morph into a disciplined person. You need to practice self-discipline as much as you can in a significant period of time for you to become disciplined. How do you do that?
First, you need to know what your goals are and what you will do to make them happen.
When your mind is at a loss for what to do next, you tend to get distracted immediately. But if you already have a plan, you don’t even have to think about what you’re going to do. You just do it. You just follow your plan and if there are any changes, modify as you see fit. And then, keep moving forward.
Second, you have to practice hard work. Every day, you should commit to a certain time of hustling, of being diligent. It’s a trained skill so practice showing up at all times and then delivering what you came to do, whether it be for exercise, work, your personal growth, etc.
The third is to watch the habits and rituals you do in a day. Habits are very strong and when you make something a habit, it becomes instinctive for you to follow through with a task without overthinking it. Try doing something in a streak. For example, challenge yourself to exercise at least once a day for 100 consecutive days. As they say, it takes 21 days to make something a habit.
Fourth, eliminate all distractions. When you say a focused hour, you really mean a focused hour. You shouldn’t be doing anything else other than the task you set to do for that hour.
Fifth, always have Plan B ready. When Plan A seems to not work, then try another means to get to your desired end. You can also adjust goals by having a more realistic timeline.
Sixth, invest in tools to help you be more disciplined. You can buy ergonomic furniture that will make work and life much more convenient, comfortable, healthy, and luxurious.
