Discipline

Since so many adult responsibilities require that we attend to matters that we'd rather not have to spend time on, how do we get the discipline to motivate ourselves to complete these tasks? Can discipline be taught?

I used to waste time watching t.v. Colleen and I decided not to renew our t.v. cable subscription. I used to spend too much time reading newspapers. I dropped my subscription to the Wall Street Journal. Now I spend too much time reading on the computer!

In the final analysis, I suppose the answer lies in motivation. The motivation to be disciplined must be higher than the motivation to put things off until tomorrow!
