Habits. Habits. Habits.
It's really difficult to break them, but when you've made a tiny dent and some cracks on them, it could be powerful.
The hardest thing is to start.
Discipline also makes me "regret" procrastination. For example I have this plan set for the day, a quite fully-booked plan. If I let some distraction, say I watch videos for 4 hours, I know I'll feel bad about it later, and that feeling stays until I sleep at night. When I resume working, the "regret" stays and so my attention's now not fully on my work.
Whenever I think about it, I'd say "I don't want to experience that ever again, and I know this thing I'm working on definitely brings me closer to my goals."
And just like that, I get some fulfillment. It may not be so much, but it makes me feel good.
