Hi everyone. I would like to seek your advice regarding self discipline.
Specifically with tasks such as writing. I currently want to do this for myself and for others. I am good at the task, and am told such. However, I do not particularly have a lot of 'intrinsic motivation' to write. I don't hate doing it, but I don't find it that great.
That's where the problem comes in. Recently I wanted to write 15 articles for someone else. This was for payment. I try to begin, and often procrastinate. I begin, finish one, and stop. Because of this, it has taken me several more days than it should have.
I am aware of simple procedures such as breaking tasks into smaller pieces and reducing distractions in the environment, but it doesn't really help. I am interested in whether there is anything I can do to increase my self discipline? Can I expect my self discipline to increase significantly if I keep trying?
Thank you - mysticforest.
