Definition of discipline:
Everyone talks of discipline but few of them truly understands the importance of it. In simple words discipline is your character not when you are out of your comfort zone. Discipline is your character when you are in your comfort zone.
Because everyone pushes himself when they are under pressure but stop doing it when there is no pressure. Actually how you lead your life when everything is going all right defines how disciplined you are.

Discipline is directly connected to desire & self-respect. You can't be disciplined until you have a strong desire & self-respect. Desire leads to hard work and hard work increase your self esteem. You can develop discipline through these steps that I prefer to follow:
Identify the problem: People are saying they have a lot of problems but the problems they treat as a problem are not even a problem. Problems like using phone for useless stuffs, stay in bed for the whole day, playing video games… They leads to the waste of time which is the primary reason for every problem.
People always complain that they are very busy they don’t have time. I feel that they are not managing their time table well, wasting much of their time on meaningless things so having less time for important works.
To manage your timetable you need to be very disciplined you need to understand that 1st. Now as you found the problem let’s proceed to solve it.
Set a goal: First you need set a realistic goal that is connected to your soul because a goal, which is connected to soul, gives you happiness when you achieve it and when you have a dream to chase you will always stay focused and that will develop your self esteem.

So its better to make a strategy early-hand and make about 70% clear vision. You can even create a mind map for this. Now start working on it as soon as possible.
