Self-discipline: the Foundation of Productive Living
Good afternoon,
today's lecture is about self-discipline
which serves as the foundation of productive living.
Yet many who read books and blogs on this topic
for the purpose of getting things done
say they have trouble implementing these tools
and becoming more productive.
Don't worry.
No system for keeping your email under control
will help you on its own.
No tips for budgeting will ever help you on their own.
The main problem for those who struggle with pure productivity
is not being able to understand and learn systems,
but a lack of self-discipline to begin with.
What's self-discipline?
It is often described as a muscle,
something that becomes stronger
the more you work with it.
In essence,
having self-discipline from a productivity point of view
is having the ability and motivation to just do it.
