​ etDisciplined​ ​★ 
● No more Zero work days ​[α]
○ If You didn't do anything till 11:58 PM, Do something, Do one pushup, Do write one sentence,
read something, but NO ZERO WORK DAYS.
○ It will result in massive string of CONSISTENT NON ZEROS (small ONE is NON ZERO)
● Gratitude & the 3 You’s
○ Past You, Present You, Future You
○ Be grateful to the past you for the positive things you've done
○ Salad & veggies instead of Big Mac? THANKS PAST YOU
○ Make sure that future self is grateful to present self
○ The cycle of doing something for someone else (future you) & thanking someone for the good in
your life (past you) is key to building gratitude & productivity
● Forgiveness & You
○ Forgive yourself for the bad decisions you have taken
○ being disappointed in yourself causes you to be less productive
● Exercise, Meditate, Talk, Hug & Read Books
○ Endorphins, Oxytocin & Mental high
○ You are not the first person to face life issues, Humans have known writing for 5000 years, the
knowledge of the whole species is with you in the form of Books
● Implement: Thoughts without Actions are nothing
● Create a System, Not a Goal ​[β]
○ Goals reduce your current happiness.
○ Your goal will not keep you motivated for long term, But the system will.
○ Release the need for immediate results. Screw Instant gratification.
○ Create a feedback loop in system. System must perfect itself over time.
○ System is Discipline
● Motivation is Temporary, Discipline is ​Forever ​[γ]
○ Motivation operates on the erroneous assumption that a particular mental or emotional state is
necessary to complete a task.
○ Discipline, by contrast, separates outwards functioning from moods & feelings & thereby
ironically circumvents the problem by consistently improving them.
○ If you wait until you feel like doing stuff, you’re never going to do it.
● S.M.A.R.T. goals ​[δ]
○ Specific : ask yourself - Who, What, Where, When, Which & most importantly Why
○ Measurable : concrete criteria for measuring progress (​almost done ​[60% done])
○ Attainable : develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, & financial capacity to reach goals
○ Realistic : One realistic Mega-goal & many achievable real mini-goals
○ Timely : Make a System, Test the System, Follow the System, Be the System
● Divide tasks into ABCDE & 1-X. Execute tasks in order A1 A2 .. A[X] B C D .. E[X] ​[ε]
○ A : Absolutely Must Do
○ B : It would be Best if you could do it
○ C : I don't Care if this doesn't get done today
○ D : Delegate this task to someone else [Do not spend much Time in Delegating]
○ E : Eliminate from day - Cross it off the list [D & E both can be crossed off]
