How to re-program your mind for discipline:

STEP 1: ACTIVE DEFIANCE METHOD

Tricks your brain into becoming disciplined and productive:

• Identify when you're being lazy
• Turn these thoughts into triggers
• Defy your thoughts and do it anyway

Triggers could be:

• Snoozing your alarm
• Not wanting to go to the gym
• Not studying when you need to

STEP 2: HABIT STACKING

Pairing old habits you already enjoy, with new ones to maximise consistency:

Creating your first stack:

• Choose a trigger (a habit you enjoy)
• Add habit you want to be consistent at
• Keep adding to the stack

By stacking your new habits on top of old ones, you form a sequence of events, triggered by something you already do - making consistency become almost effortless…

STEP 3: SEINFELD STRATEGY

This strategy leverages the power of visual reinforcement to build consistency…

Here's how you do it:

1. Set a clear goal
2. Grab a calendar/visual cue
3. Mark an “X” every day you stick to your goal

This shows the impact of small victories, motivating you to NEVER miss a single “X”

STEP 4: ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER

Start working with someone who can hold you accountable to your goals.

It's much harder to quit when you know someone is watching:

• Start working out WITH someone - it makes it harder to cancel.
• Organise group study sessions so you feel bad for not studying with them.
• Make your progress a competition to see who worked more.

STEP 5: HABIT TRACKER

Habit trackers can help you remain disciplined each day by:

• Providing a visual motivator to track your progress.
• Showing the bigger picture - small wins compound into big ones.
• Providing incentive to NOT break the chain.
