Discipline requires dedication. Some people, myself included, draw dedication out of inspiration. And inspiration usually cannot live without novelty. Every now and then, I make up a new “ruleset” or even an entire ontology that I use to navigate my life and studies for the next cycle. That organizational trellis maps neatly onto my current interests, helping me to chart the shortest path through the fog.
Discipline is a great thing to have, and sometimes it is all you need to achieve success. When you have a clear plan, employing willpower is much easier. Even if your mind if hazed, just stick to the outline you’ve prepared, and all will be good.
And then, the time will come to reap the harvest.
