how to become a more disciplined person

Start these three habits NOW to become a more disciplined person in time for 2025:

Habit one: make daily to-do lists. If you find that you get easily distracted by your phone, make sure to write the to-do list on paper.

Habit two: set goals for yourself. In order to be more disciplined, you need to have a clear vision for yourself and your future. Write down you goals so you don’t forget about them. It’s also important to make a plan for actually achieving your goals.

Habit three: use the 5 second rule and the 2 min rule. How the rules work:

5 second rule: If you have something on your to do list that you need to get done but you really don't want to do, use the five second rule. Countdown from 5 in your head and when you get to 1 you have to just do it!

2 min rule: If a task is going to take you less than two min to do, just do it and don’t think twice about it!

I hope that you liked this post and found it helpful!
