How To Stay Disciplined When Motivation Disappears Here's the truth: Motivation is unreliable. If your goals depend on motivation, you'll quit whenever you don't feel like working. 1. Make the task smaller Reducing the workload you intend to do makes a huge difference in disciplining oneself. Instead of "study for 3 hours," start with 10 minutes. Or “write 5 chapters,” start with 1 or 2 chapter. 2. Focus on the process Don't think about the result. If you set your mind to the result, you might keep on feeling like you are not moving. Think about today's task. Not tomorrow and not the next. 3. Remove distractions before you begin You know that thing that takes your focus, could be your phone, friends, novels or games. Remove it from around you until you have done something productive that day. 4. Create routines A routine requires less willpower than a decision. It keeps your day more organized than random. 5. Keep promises to yourself Every promise kept builds self-trust. This is one of the best discipline you can teach yourself. 6. Accept bad days Discipline isn't never failing. It's getting back on track quickly. Every day won't be rosy. Remember: Motivation gets you started. Discipline keeps you going. 👇 What's one thing you're trying to stay disciplined about?
