Give yourself a meaningful incentive that will inspire you to action. And set a Big Deadline to put urgency into your action and keep you pushing to the finish line.

it’s going to be hard at first, but you will come to appreciate your new power of habit. The benefits are well worth it. You must look at the work and the struggles as blessings. Practice (i.e. training) is the only way you can build up your delayed gratification muscle and earn the rewards.

Control your mornings. Conquer the chaos of your afternoons. Concentrate on what really matters in the evenings.
