I appreciate the idea of consciously working on building discipline. People can build up discipline by simply practicing actions over time and monitoring/measuring their results. The thing I've noticed about those who are successful is that they are committed to taking an honest look at themselves and putting in the effort to create movement in their lives. Take care, Guy Great tips Ali. I appreciate the idea of consciously working on building discipline.

I like to check my favorite blogs while I'm listing to NPR and BBC. Obviously you feel that PickTheBrain should choose my audio material; when I go to your website, I get a very loud voice talking about Wal-Mart gift cards. Since you think I'm so stupid that I have to listen to the ads you run, I guess I'm too ignorant to read your blog. Bye. What a shame.

This article has opened my eyes a little bit more, I have some troubles with being focused and what you said:"...A lack of self-discipline is often the result of a focus on short-term pleasure over long-term rewards..." is a great sentence! what also helps in improving self-discipline is the awareness of purpose- I work on it every morning, clarify my vision, and it directs me again and again when the distractions show up so thanks for your post, it is a nice step I am glad that I have found your blog.

I think having a goal you are passionate about definitely helps to focus our self-discipline. I liked the analogy of building a self-discipline muscle - it is definitely something that improves over time and with practice.

It's as easy as starting out very small and building over time. That way you hit no roadblocks and it seems so easy. Start running just 100m per day for example and you will be running marathons soon. I believe that anyone can learn to become self disciplined.

Self-discipline was a bugger to get under wraps but once the muscle has been built you'll fly through projects. I’d have to agree.
