Are you as disciplined as you’d like to be?
No?
Do you want to toughen up?
Have that twinkle in your eye that says: “Life, if you punch me in the face, you know I’ll just grit my teeth and fight back even harder.”
Oh you do? Sure, who wouldn’t.
That’s why I spent all of last week pondering how to help you do just that, and create a framework for it.
Here’s what I came up with.
Do you sometimes not want to start your day when you look at your to-do list in the morning?
Do you see 34 tasks, 33 of which you either dread or don’t see the point in?
You have to walk the dog.
Write a blog post.
Answer emails.

Here’s something many people think about upside down, if you ask me. Case in point:
I used to buy video games the way other people pick pizza toppings. I would go online one day, pick out 3-5 games, add to cart, click, confirm payment, click and before I knew it I had another bunch of games sitting on my shelf.
I would indeed play them, but most of the time just beat them once, set them back on the shelf and there they would sit for the longest time, before I could eventually bring myself to selling them. It was the exact same with movies.
