I’m a pretty erratic human being. My mind runs everywhere so I’ll start doing something and forget to finish it. Also have a bad habit of constantly using my phone or scrolling through the web when I could be more productive. Simply put I lack discipline, this year, I’d like to take time to actually learn some new things and excel in things i do. What do you all do in terms of staying disciplined whether that’s towards goals, work, working out, art, life in general, etc.

Thanks in advance 🤝

Might sound goofy to some, but meditation for 5 minutes in the morning set me up to be a lot more focused for at least the next hour or two afterwards. And then a focused start to your morning sets the tone for the rest of the day

Do you have a meditation guide you use or?

Kind of, I read a book by the Dalai Lama a couple years back, it was pretty simple though. Just sit upright, close your eyes and for 5 minutes focus your mind on one single object or concept. I had some old prayer beads from my father in my hand that I tried imagining as detailed as I could, it got easier with time. I’m sure there’s other techniques, prayer etc. It worked for me tho.

Create a plan for what you want to do

i rock a minimal bullet journal/regular journal to stay on top of tasks, habits, goals, etc.

im the same op and i have not fixed it yet so im here for answers as well

Breath

By understanding that discipline usually means doing the opposite of what you feel like doing

Embrace the choas

Just tap in

YUCK imagine living like this

This is a huge stumbling block for me but meditation and exercise is really the only way. And a consistent sleep schedule.

You don't want to do the first 5% but you'll love the next 95%

The opposite of what you feel like doing in the moment, but that work you put in will make future present moments more fulfilling, and eventually those habits will just be a part of your mindset and you'll find new things to grow at.

great way to become miserable and depressed a few years down the line lol

prayer > meditation !

What makes u say that lol, this doesnt man dont do anything

Just what feels right, ull be miserable if u force yourself into s*** u hate?

its fun to challenge yourself

achievement of goals is primarily based around your dopamine system.

every time you get closer to the achievement of your goals you get a hit of them s***s.
if you fry yourself out w d**** or video games or tv or anything of the sort, those hits from the goals won't do it for you and you'll resort to stronger forms of the aforementioned vices. balance (switching back n forth) is tough, you'll notice if you get the first three hours of your day right, the rest comes easier. i usually cut it all out or do a weekday grind weekend relax cycle with little "all out breaks" that last a week to a month once or twice a year.
you won't hit elon level gains like that but it's the best way i've found thus far...

also avoid carbs till night / sleep time

Avoid carbs until it’s time to sleep lol?? Tf

u ever try it? :word:

no cuz that’s f***ing stupid for multiple reasons

Don't knock it unless you've tried it..

prob why ur a scrub

this is the realest s***.
