Thank you for this. I think you outline some useful advice and common pitfalls in the pursuit of self discipline. I’ll incorporate your advice and let you know how it goes in a year.

Hmmm, pretty decent post with some sound ideas.

Trouble is, where I fall down – repeatedly – is with the sticking to the routine and sticking to the ‘punishments’. ‘Oh, it won’t matter this time’, ‘take a breather until Monday’ and so on are the norm.

However, I love the 5 mins more, then 6 mins.

I wonder if a UK workforce would respond better the ‘you can’ or ‘you can’t'?? There’s a PhD in that somewhere. Shame I’d never have the discipline to stick to doing it!!!!!!!!!!!=)

Hi, Thanks for your tips. I have been trying hard to wake up early and prepare for my CMA exams. But some how I have never been able to do. I have a clear goal and know how drastically that course could alter my life. But I have never been able to do it.. Hopefully with you tips I would be able to Change all that.

I’m in no any way trying to fuel the fire, but clearly your new friend Jello Biafra was more interested in your post than he/she thought. Typos aside, bigots will be bigots, and those who are ill-informed will go out of their way to convince people that they have all the right answers – the ONLY answers. We’re all entitled to our opinions, of course, and it was generous of you to allow that particular one to appear on your site, but it’s a shame that some people need to draw attention to their closed-minded, contemptuous attitudes – especially when their rant had nothing to do with the purpose of your original post.

Keep sending that positive energy out there – thanks!

Thanks for leaving such a great comment! I agree the first step is the hardest. Remember though, it only gets easier. It is always hardest in the beginning.
