The Discipline Manifesto [eBook] Release!

Hey folks! I am very proud to announce that The Discipline Manifesto: Conquering Procrastination and Harnessing Willpower in 5 Steps has a release date: July, Sunday 26th!

For those who haven’t read the previous post about The Discipline Manifesto, this is a project I’ve been working in for the past 6 months. The idea of the book born as an article, but soon became evident that in order to cover the topics of discipline and procrastination as I have envisioned, a single article wasn’t enough. So it evolved into a series of articles and finally into the book.

Even though this will be a self-published book, I have made sure to provide high quality information and presentation. I hired a proofreader and an editor in order to polish the several drafts written before the final version. The cover was also commissioned to a very good designer, and I’m very happy with the result.

A Different Approach

I fought against procrastination for a long time, and in order to do so I had to read a lot about this popular subject; yet, most of the information out there is basically the same: a mixture of common sense and the same old tips we all have heard.

To someone who really has a problem with procrastination, these cliché advices would hardly have any effect.

In the search for a personal solution, I realized that the problem with the most popular methods on building self-discipline and fighting procrastination was the fact the most of such methods focused on pushing us to act despite our emotional resistance.

Instead, I found that it was FAR more effective to understand the reasons why we procrastinate at all, and what lies behind our emotional resistance against some activities. Only when we understand this, we can successfully overcome chronic procrastination and the lack of self-discipline.

The Five Principles of Self-Discipline

The first step to master self-discipline is understanding what discipline really is, and we can do so by learning the five principles of discipline.

1. Acknowledgment: To accept what we can and can’t do is the first step. By acknowledging our shortcomings, we can come up with the best possible plan in order to counter our weak spots.

2. Harnessing Willpower: Understanding the true nature of willpower and its limits is of utmost importance if we want to harness it. By doing so, we can use willpower efficiently, and make it work with us and not against us.

3. Thrive for Challenges: Nothing worthwhile comes without some kind of challenge. Changing the way we see challenging moments or situations is not only positive to improve our self-discipline, but it also has amazing effects in every other area of our life.

4. Automatize: Getting rid of the small tasks that suck our energy and time every day, and automatizing those tasks that we cannot avoid is vital when we are pursuing our dreams and goals.

5. Perseverance: Nobody gets to become an expert, or even a decent performer, on their first try. Failure is a natural part of life and should never stop you from trying.

By explaining the five principles, The Discipline Manifesto will not only walk you through the process of developing discipline as a skill, but will also point out the basic steps you must take to overcome inaction or unhealthy behaviours and habits.
