    Posted by Joseph Guster on March 23, 2016

    Motivation and discipline go hand in hand when it comes to accomplishing your goals; however, most people only tend to focus on motivation. When you're motivated, it's easy to get things done, but what do you do when you're not motivated? No matter how passionate you are about reaching a goal, there will be days when you're lacking motivation. On those days, discipline is what you'll need to keep pushing forward.

    Cultivating discipline will be a game changer for your success. The first thing you can do to cultivate discipline is to put systems in place that make it easy for you to stay on track. These systems can include using project management software to manage tasks or setting up your time in buckets to focus. Once you have a system, you need to completely trust that system and stick to it.

    The second step to cultivating discipline is to remove distractions.The key to addressing distractions is to accurately identify them and develop a sustainable approach to remove them.  There are various tools  that can assist with blocking distractions. RescueTime is a great tool that identifies how much time you spend using  applications and websites on your computer and mobile device.   You can also use apps that limit you to one task. For writers, one of the distraction free writing apps found in this Gizmodo article can tremendously help your focus.

    Moving forward can be difficult on days when you lack motivation, but with discipline, you can easily continue to push forward on reaching your goals. I hope this article sparks a mentality change to implement some systems to help you crush your goals.
