I have often thought I could use more discipline in my life, perhaps you have too. With the goal of improving discipline, I want to practice with you.
Pick something you cannot now do, and do it. Make a commitment by posting here, set a deadline, and report back after you are done, success or failure. It can be anything at all. Playing a challenging piano piece, getting outside every day, waking up in the morning, running a mile, forgoing your preferred distractions, anything.
Myself, I have trouble sitting still when I meditate. So I commit to sitting completely still for one hour, with a deadline of Wednesday evening. If I so much as move a finger I will reset the clock.
There's two kinds of discipline I am aware of - the discipline to endure a difficult situation to its end (as in sitting still for one hour) and the equally valuable daily discipline of keeping up a good habit whether you desire to do so or not. So keep in mind which kind of discipline you want to practice and go for it. Be bold and become a stronger person!

I decided to become a better programming.
To do that I have to stop relying on books and focusing on practice.
I expect to stop reading programming books altogether for a while. It should free up my reading space for more interesting stuff like history.

This one should be easy but: I will not touch my computer or phone tomorrow outside of work and that one errand I have to do.

Slightly drunk and wasn't reading the title of this thread and thought it was called "Self-diagnose" as in "self-diagnose yourself in this thread". I think that's a great idea so I'm going to say I think I have skin cancer.
