Self-Discipline Techniques to Avoid Procrastination
Doing What You Should Do— Even When You Don't Feel Like It
 

Discipline refers to your ability to maintain consistent, productive behavior. Are you persistent in completing your high priority tasks, without getting sidelined by menial activities? Do you put your nose to the grindstone each day, or do you only work hard when you're in the mood? Do you have a set of "rules" for yourself that govern your behavior and activity? Many people tell some form of, "I do really well one day, but then I get into a funk and can't get back on top of things." Sure, everyone has an "off day." But if you're self-disciplined, you exhibit consistent focus in your day-to-day work, even if you don't feel like it.
