How to get disciplined

The problem - we actually enjoying our life, but feel like we should be, and can be, doing more.

How to actually get disciplined?

You need a good reason to get disciplined. If you want to be disciplined because of someone else, because of society norms - it’s not gonna work.


If you play games all night, eat tasty pizza, feel good in the process, is it a bad thing? Maybe this is life you want to live? Maybe this is your discipline?

On the other hand - there are goals you consider important to reach for. Write them down. Sift out external tasks, focus on internal ones - those which are beneficial to your mission.

Discipline is not about waking up 4 AM, go running, eat heatlhy food. It’s about moving constantly to your goals.

Surprisingly, to move closer to our dreams, we don’t need to be in so hyped “monk” mode. We just need to understand which path we’re on and make a step every day.
