And the stronger it gets, the easier it becomes to make better choices and maintain self control, especially when it matters.<\/p>\n<p>So to help you build self-discipline, nurture your mental health, and get rid of bad habits that are preventing you from performing at your best, here are 10 self-discipline tips and examples to practice and incorporate into your life:<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-1-give-yourself-fewer-decisions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a01. Give yourself fewer decisions<\/h3>\n<h4 id=\"3-best-for-managing-expectations-staying-on-track-and-reducing-decision-fatigue\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best for managing expectations, staying on track, and reducing decision fatigue<\/h4>\n<p>People think of willpower as an all-or-nothing thing\u2014we either have it or don\u2019t. But willpower is best thought of as a tank that can fill and empty throughout the day and can be influenced by our choices and environment.<\/p>\n<p>So-called decision fatigue can also be understood as willpower fatigue.<\/p>\n<p>You can say no to the temptation once (that\u2019s one rep of your willpower muscle) and then say no to it again another dozen times later in the day (that\u2019s more reps). But come the evening, that poor willpower muscle is worn out. So you arrive home after a long hard day and think, \u201cWell, I\u2019ve been so good. I deserve it,\u201d and you finally succumb to temptation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background\" style=\"color: #00000099; background-color: #9b51e030; font-size: 15px;\"><sup><strong>PRO TIP<\/strong><\/sup><br \/>\nTry to put as much as possible on autopilot and create a system that works for you. Set up a system that reduces the need to use mental energy yet keeps you accountable for what you need to do. You\u2019ll no longer have to decide on the spot every time; instead, you decide once, set it, and move on.<\/p>\n<p>To help you reduce decision fatigue, you can plan your to-lists and schedule in advance on a <a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/online-to-do-list\">digital planner with checklists<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/features\/calendar-view\">digital Calendar<\/a>.

Recall that the primitive part of the brain is the brainstem, the primary function of which is to keep you safe. This instinctual part of your brain wants to protect you from uncomfortable and potentially dangerous situations\u2014and it\u2019s always better to be more cautious than less cautious, right?<\/p>\n<p>So, as a result, you may feel physically exhausted, mentally worn out, or just plain scared at a point when you are not really in any danger. In fact, you may still have 60% more effort to give! You are capable of much, much more than you think you are. Even when you genuinely feel too tired to carry on, you can recognize that this is just an excuse\u2014you are not done; you are only forty percent done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background\" style=\"color: #00000099; background-color: #9b51e030; font-size: 15px;\"><sup><strong>KEY TAKEAWAY<\/strong><\/sup><br \/>\nSelf-discipline is not about being some kind of superhuman but rather about not giving in when your body and mind tell you, \u201cI can\u2019t do more.\u201d Your brain is so powerful that when it tells you, \u201cYou can\u2019t do more,\u201d that\u2019s precisely what it believes.

Chimpanzees aren\u2019t smarter than us, yet they make better decisions at least as often as we do.<\/p>\n<p><em>Why?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Well, the problem is actually in how developed our brains are. We overthink decisions with somewhat obvious answers, and we can rationalize bad behavior that robs us of more desirable outcomes. We\u2019re not always sure what\u2019s a real reason for hesitation and what\u2019s just a justification or excuse. You can imagine how this takes away from our overall efficacy.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where the 10-Minute rule comes in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background\" style=\"color: #00000099; background-color: #9b51e030; font-size: 15px;\"><sup><strong>PRO TIP<\/strong><\/sup><br \/>\nIf you want something, wait at least ten minutes before acting on it. It\u2019s simple and leaves no room for debate or excuses. When you feel an urge, build self-discipline by forcing yourself to wait for 10 minutes before giving in to whatever the urge is. If you\u2019re still craving it after ten minutes, then have it. Simply by choosing to wait, you remove the \u201cimmediate\u201d from immediate gratification\u2014building discipline and improving decision-making.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"8-4-the-10-minute-rule-20\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

That\u2019s all it is. Importantly, it\u2019s <em>not<\/em> a compulsion to act. You can intensely desire something natural and good for you or something that has purely negative effects on you.<\/p>\n<p>Does this mean just <em>ignoring<\/em> the distraction, urge, or temptation? Not quite. This is because when you try to ignore something, you may give it more psychological power and even prolong a sensation that would have ordinarily not lasted that long. A concept or sensation usually becomes stronger when ignored, not weaker. After all, ignoring a wave in the ocean doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not there, and you won\u2019t feel it crash into you.<\/p>\n<p>If we can do this for long enough, the urge does pass, and we are once again calm and balanced. Most of the time, just a proverbial taste is enough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background\" style=\"color: #00000099; background-color: #9b51e030; font-size: 15px;\"><sup><strong>PRO TIP<\/strong><\/sup><br \/>\nYou can practice journaling to help you keep track of and monitor your patterns and behaviors.

Action creates momentum<\/h3>\n<h4 id=\"16-best-for-creating-momentum-and-motivation-from-taking-action\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best for creating momentum and motivation from taking action<\/h4>\n<p>Whatever your goals are, motivation plays an important role and is one of the most important ingredients influencing your drive and ambition, but we\u2019re thinking about it <em>all wrong<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>When we think about motivation, we look for something to light a spark in us and make us jump up from the couch and dive deeply into our tasks. We want <em>motivation that causes action<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few problems with this. This type of motivation, if you ever find it, is highly unreliable. If you feel you need motivation that causes action, you\u2019re doing it wrong.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, a writer who feels they are unable to write without some form of motivation or inspiration is going to stare at a blank page for hours. End of story.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, you should plan for life <em>without<\/em> a motivating kickstart. Seeking that motivation creates a prerequisite and additional barrier to action. Get into the habit of proceeding without it. And surprisingly, this is where you\u2019ll find what you were seeking\u2014action leads to motivation, more motivation, and eventually momentum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background\" style=\"color: #00000099; background-color: #9b51e030; font-size: 15px;\"><sup><strong>KEY TAKEAWAY<\/strong><\/sup><br \/>\nYour own actions will be your fuel to move forward. After you\u2019ve taken your first step and have seen progress from your efforts, motivation will come easier and more naturally, as well as inspiration and discipline. You\u2019ll fall into a groove, and suddenly, you\u2019ll be in your work mode.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"17-10-the-10-10-10-rule\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. The 10-10-10 rule<\/h3>\n<h4 id=\"18-best-for-helping-you-analyze-the-short-and-long-term-effects-of-your-actions-or-lack-thereof\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best for helping you analyze the short and long-term effects of your actions or lack thereof<\/h4>\n<p>No matter how well you visualize your future self or how skilled you become at delaying gratification, you\u2019ll still inevitably face temptations or urges to lose discipline that can overwhelm you.<\/p>\n<p>If that means being less rigorous about your diet for one meal while you\u2019re out with friends, it\u2019s probably not a big deal. But if that means that you\u2019re about to lose your willpower and relapse into a harmful addiction from your past, you\u2019ll want to have a tool up your sleeve to help you stay disciplined.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where the 10-10-10 Rule comes in\u2014a reflection and <a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/time-management-techniques\/\">time management technique<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background\" style=\"color: #00000099; background-color: #9b51e030; font-size: 15px;\"><sup><strong>KEY TAKEAWAY<\/strong><\/sup><br \/>\nThe next time you feel that you\u2019re about to give in to an urge or temptation, stop and ask yourself how you will feel ten minutes, ten hours, and ten days from now. This rule can be effective because it forces you to think about your future self and see how your actions will affect you\u2014for better or worse.<\/p>\n<p>We often know that we are losing discipline or doing something harmful at the moment, but that\u2019s not enough to stop us from doing it because we don\u2019t have any connection to our future selves that will have to deal with the consequences. The 10-10-10 Rule quickly creates that connection, which keeps you aware of your actions or lack thereof.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"19-master-yourself-become-self-disciplined-with-good-habits-\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Master Yourself: Become Self-Disciplined with Good Habits<\/h2>\n<p>Now, I realize that even reading through this list might be overwhelming and actually achieve the opposite of the intended effect: to add even more to your plate and cause even more procrastination and avoidance of responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why I implore you to start small and just choose one to try to implement this week. The next week, try another.<\/p>\n<p>Do you see where I\u2019m going with this? It\u2019s never too late to practice self-discipline.
