you can develop many skills just by practice ..... self discipline is one you can do find an item you want to change and hold yourself accountable......

example if you procrastinate tell yourself i will do this on a schedule ... and keep track on times you do it and time you don't........be accountable to yourself is a skill i wish many would practice as i look around I see others who say "i need someone to hold me accountable " but self accountability is by far more desirable since it is hard to deceive yourself.

I want to, but I don't know how to do it consistently. I tried being self accountable for a couple of months (and finished alot of important tasks though). But ultimately got bored of noting everything down (as I had no idea how to further use the information generated through this self accountability practice). For a month or so now, I am feeling directionless again (even though I do have a lot of things to finish ASAP.

It is easy to procrastinate ..... and writing down is just IMO a tool to start ..... after that you can do self talk .... "that you know you do not feel like doing it but it has to be done .... you are building your own roadblocks and you are they only one who can finish it "

that is close to what i say to myself daily especially if doing a task i do not enjoy ........

like i said harder to convince your self that you did your best or you just ran out of time..... imagine if that was someone else as an accountability partner would you be angry that they let you procrastinate? they did not push you .......remind you. look in the mirror and tell yourself it is UP TO YOU because you can literally rationalize to almost everyone else.
