the science of self- discipline

       While I was helping out with my mom's business, I decided to listen to an audiobook entitled "Science of Self- Discipline". I picked up a lot from the audiobook which somehow helped reframe my mentality about what self- discipline actually is.

        The most profound thing I learned is you should think about the rewards you get when doing a task so that your mind will be more focused on the reward part rather than on the actual doing of the task. Some people procrastinate because they think that a task is much of  a pain to do that's why they put it off at the last minute. But when you think about the rewards after accomplishing them, it makes you feel more fulfilled and motivated to get the job done immediately. I never really thought about self- discipline in that light before. Now I feel more motivated to do chores and school work :)
