Being productive and staying on top of your business is not easy. You will need a lot of discipline to get through each day, even when the work drags and you are not in the mood. Here are some ideas to make yourself more disciplined to push through the slump:
Start small
Success starts with small steps. Start by making small goals to reach and stick to them. Don't let yourself become overwhelmed by large goals. This will help you build a strong foundation of discipline.
Take responsibility
Accept responsibility for your actions. Owning up to your mistakes and learning from them is essential to developing discipline. However, that also means accepting that sometimes you won't be disciplined.
Stay organized
Organization is key. Set up a schedule and stick to it. Keeping your life organized will help you stay focused and disciplined. Consider blocking specific times of your week or day for things you must do and stick to this schedule.
Set clear goals
A clear idea of your goal will help you stay disciplined. Make sure your goals are realistic and achievable. Start with a large big picture vision and keep splitting it into smaller parts until each one seems like something you can achieve quickly.
Reward yourself
Make sure to reward yourself for your hard work and discipline. This will help you stay motivated and make it easier to stay disciplined. It may be something small like a cup of coffee, a quick gaming session, or a book chapter.
