Being disciplined isn’t hard (I hate it). Here are the 7 rules I learned to never procrastinate again.

1. Become Your Dream Person

Stop saying “I need to…” Start saying “I am someone who…”

Example: “I’m a writer.” Not “I should write.”

Why: Identity drives action. Not motivation

2. Never Miss Twice

Skip a habit? Cool, can happen. Skip it twice? That’s how chaos starts.

Example: Skipped gym Monday? Show up Tuesday, no excuses.

Why: One bad day is fine. Two is a pattern.

3. Stack Your Do-To List

Build micro-habits on top of each other. Example: Brush teeth -> 10 squats -> 1 journal sentence.

Why: Small wins stack fast. Momentum > motivation.

4. Visual Wins

Track it or trash it. Example: X every day on your wall calendar = dopamine.

Miss a day? Restart the chain.

Why: Progress you can see is progress you’ll keep.

5. Environment Wins

Design your space to help you win.

Example: workout clothes by your bed. No Insta on your phone during work hours.

Why: Don’t rely on willpower. Build systems.

6. Reset In 60

Screwed up? Cool. You’ve got 60 seconds to bounce back.

Example: Ate junk? Walk for 1 minute, drink water now.

Why: Guilt spirals. Interrupt fast.
