More on discipline

  • Keep the promise you made to yourself at 9 p.m., even at 6 a.m. when you hate that person.
  • Your habits vote every day on who you become. Cast a good one right now.
  • Don't negotiate with the alarm clock. It never wins an argument with you at 5 a.m. unless you let it.
  • Ten pages a day is a library in a few years. Skip a day, and it's still ten pages tomorrow.
  • Put the phone in another room. Willpower is weak, but distance is strong.
  • If you only work when you feel like it, you work about twice a month.
