recent years was to focus on developing self-discipline, which is what pushes
you forward in the long term. And yes, self-discipline can be seen as a
trainable skill.

I started by forcing myself to wake early and take a cold bath every week day.
I've found that this habit helps me develop a work routine in the first
morning hours. Even without having great productivity, I've found this greatly
reduces the bad feeling you get from procrastination.

Almost a year ago, I started forcing myself to do something I used hate (but
healthy, especially for someone that sits for most of the day): going to the
gym and lifting weights 3 times a week. As the time passed, this became an
habit which has an amazing impact on my work productivity. This may be because
I'm following a program where I constantly try to increase the weights, giving
a feeling of progress I don't usually get from daily work (Currently lifting
about 4x weight more than when I started). It might not work for you, but this
is what I'm doing, in case you are interested:

Cold shower after waking up early sounds like a great way to start the morning
and improve discipline. I think I'll attempt starting this plus adding a short
run after the shower. I'm sure I'll be able to conquer the day easier after
breaking through that early resistance. I agree that my self-discipline
trainable and improving it is the best solution in the long run. There are a
lot of things that I need to do but don't want to do, getting that discipline
muscle strong will help me do those things and improve my life in many ways.

Self-discipline will help you acquire good habits and drop bad ones, but it
also helps to track progress with an app. I use habithub for this.
