How to learn self discipline

You're a smart kid.

Which is a downside.

Because you've never really had to work at anything, so you didn't. You skated through school.

Now you've run into your glass ceiling.

That thing you want you actually will have to work at.

And that's tough because you don't have study habits, discipline, or drive because you've never needed to develop these skills.

So crunch time comes and you bury your head in the sand.

Never too late to change, but you need to realize from now on you don't just get a free pass... in fact you'll have to work harder than other people because you're now at a disadvantage.

How bad do you want it? You're a smart kid, right? Use the smarts.

You dont learn to be self discipline, you force yourself into it.

You know how to fucking do that, it's just that you're not willing to.

There's no success without pain and quit bullshitting that you can only do this on certain stuff, you're making up excuses.

Creating a routine is super important( i had these same problems)! For me i has to create a block schedule with my time. It’s important to take a min. of 30- 45min to do hw, silencing your phone, no insta, fb, Twitter. You will make tons of progress!! focus on one of your problems and solving that issues one by one. It may be hard to follow, but creating a clear set of tasks before you begin your hw will make the difference..... give yourself a pat on the back and take a 15min break-after.

You don’t necessarily have to follow these same time increments, but it works for me. I know when i started i couldn’t last 15min without checking my next massage. Getting your mindset is everything to your success!!!! Wishing you the best of luck with your hw 😉

try to set a time in the day were you learn. every day. don't need to be hours at first. start small, only 5 mins if you want, but do it every day. after some time it will become a habit that is not based on motivation. you can then increase the time you are learning.

You are trying to think your way out of an emotional problem, you can't. There's no method to this, you just have to accept the discomfort. However, know that after you get rolling it will get easier.

You can’t learn it- you have to act your way into being disciplined.

It takes time to build a habit in this case being discipled. So practice being disciplined.

How?

Just remember it’s definition: discipline is doing something regardless of how you feel. So when you are feeling lazy and don’t want to go to the gym/approach a girl/finish your work just remember the definition
