1. Practice prioritizing
Decide which tasks are worth more dedicating, then organize your day to totally crush them.
tip:
Put things you don't necessarily love at the top of your priorities, and you'll be relieved they're done instead of putting them off another day.

2. Set clear goals

3. Remove temptations
It only takes a moment of weakness to convince yourself to cave into temptation.
Making it difficult to access those temptations can be pivotal to increasing self-discipline.
E.g.
If your weakness is Instagram, turn off the Internet while you’re working.

4. Create new simple habits
Building self-discipline and working on big goals can be intimidating.

5. Practice discomfort
It’s normal to avoid pain, but eliminating all discomfort makes you believe you can’t handle distress.
Allow yourself to experience uncomfortable emotions.
This increases your tolerance to the negative emotions you experience as you grow your discipline.

6. Visualize the long-term rewards
Focus on the long-term gain.
Visualize the rewards you’ll gain by practicing self-discipline.
Giving in to temptations may make you feel happy now, but long-term happiness and contentment require you to forgo immediate gratification.

8. Scale efforts
Once you start and do this for a while, you’ll find yourself actually wanting to do more.
This is where you are literally building momentum and self-discipline because you’re seeing it pay off.
Do you want to reach this stage? Be consistent.

9. Change your mindset
The amount of willpower a person has is determined by their beliefs.
If you believe you are limited, you probably won’t surpass those limits.
If you believe you can do it, you will give yourself an extra boost of motivation to make those goals a reality.

10. Forgive yourself and move forward
We sometimes fall short even with all of our best intentions and well-laid plans.
It happens.
You will have ups and downs, great successes, and dismal failures. The key is to keep moving forward.
Don't let guilt drag you down.
