Question: Which Is Better: Discipline or Motivation?
DISCIPLINE OVER MOTIVATION
1. Motivation is Created When You Act
Question: In your opinion, Why do you think motivation is created when you take action?
- People’s motivation often does not arrive until they have started that task and are
beginning to see progress. When people see progress, they start to see the fruits to their
labor, and they become even more motivated to keep working until they have completed
their task.
- what about the motivation that is needed in order to start working altogether?
+) Before you even begin working on it, you should know what the benefits are going to
be.
+) you should be using prioritization in order to get the most urgent and
important work out of the way first. (In terms of smaller tasks/jobs, simply
understanding what the benefits are of completing that task should be enough for
motivation. For larger tasks and jobs, it is important that you have a way to measure your
progress so you can further gain motivation and confidence from your work.)

2. Breaking Down Your Goals Into Manageable Ones

- Start by just breaking down whatever that task is into littler parts and then focus on one
at a time. If you find yourself still wanting to procrastinate after you’ve already broken it
down, then break it down even more.
- for example:
In the case of writing a dissertation, your milestones might be:
+) writing a dissertation proposal
+) doing research
+) making an outline
+) writing a dissertation
+) editing and proofreading
For a dissertation proposal you need to:
+) choose a theme
+) choose a title
+) structure of the proposal

3. Overcoming Procrastination With Self-Discipline

-Motivation is something that happens after you take action rather than before. In order to
overcome procrastination, you can’t sit around waiting for motivation to hit, you have to
begin your task in order to create motivation. In order to start doing a task without
motivation, you need to utilize your willpower and self-discipline.

years. they all passed university with high scores, above 28 points. Hieu wants to enter

Science and Technology to study Information Technology. Together they accomplished
their goals.

the process way more fun. The two of you will hold each other accountable for the tasks
that need to be done. Your goals will be better accomplished.
Step 7: Tell Others About Your Goals
-question: Do you think letting others know your goals will help you achieve your goals
better?
- When you share your goals with the people around you, they will often inquire about
the progress of your plan. Of course, you don't want to fail in front of others, so you're
more motivated to accomplish your goals.
Step 8: Seek Out Someone Who Has Achieved Your Goal
-Seek them out and connect with them in order to ask them about their experience. You
can learn about what obstacles and failures that they faced along the way, and they’d be
able to provide you with some tips that may have made their journey a little bit easier
Step 9: Re-Clarify Your Goals
-question: Imagine if you were on "your way" and you got lost, what would you do?
=> answer: Try to take a weekend to yourself and regroup. Ask yourself, ‘what exactly
do I want to achieve? Are the things that I am doing now aligning with that? If not, what
can I do to change it?’
- Adjusting your goals to something that lines up with who you are presently is crucial in
terms of creating motivation and value for yourself.
Step 10: Don’t Overcomplicate
-There is never a ‘perfect time’ to do a task that you need to do. Even if you only had 10
minutes, you can surely get SOMETHING done that is related to your goal. Abandon this
thought of waiting for ‘the perfect time’ because there will never be one. After you break
down your goals into smaller ones, start doing them whenever you have 10 minutes free.
It’s as simple as that
Step 11: Just Do It
