Self-discipline and willpower are two of the biggest secrets to success. Improving, cultivating, and growing your self-control and self-discipline will serve you well in both your personal and professional life.
Discipline is important because it allows us to live our lives the way we want. As a student, discipline allows you to study more effectively and use your time efficiently. Willpower and self-control allow you to eat healthier, exercise regularly, and be happier. This translates to stronger grades in school, more energy, improved moods, and looking and feeling better.

2. Practice Daily
3. Ramp it Up
Other Tips:
1. Make it easier for your future self
2. Build the appropriate reward and consequence systems
3. “Doing What You Love” is some of the most misunderstood and misguided advice. Instead grow to love the process.
