Help Yourself be Better Disciplined

Make a Game Out of It

Take a list of things you need to do everyday and try make rules for getting them done. You could even give yourself points and penalties so that you can be competitive with yourself and try to beat yesterdays score. Whether because of your competitive nature or just having fun you’ll break those bad discipline habits in no time.

Make a List and Put It Where You Can See It

This is an oldie but a goody and if you’re anything like me you make the list then forget to look at the list. So the best thing to do is put the list where you know you’re going to find it. The mirror in the bathroom might be a good place to put it or perhaps under your wallet or purse when you have put them down for the night so you can find it the next morning. Other places of course would be the refrigerator or even inside your car as long as you’ll be able to see the list.

Put Reminders in Your Cell Phone

Just about every cell phone these days has a calender feature somewhere inside of it. All you need to do is pick a date, then inside that date pick a time, and finally write yourself a small note. It’s been very helpful for me with very important dates so that I make sure I don’t forget very important appointments or dates. But I have also used it to remind me of smaller things that I needed to do. Plus the notes come with an alarm so even if you forget to look for your note the phone will yell at you to remind you.

Play Memory Games

Biggest part of being a disciplined person is remembering to do the things that you need or want done. As we get older we do fewer and fewer things that build the memory muscles in our brains and like the old saying goes “use it or lose it”. The web is loaded with memory websites. All you have to do is type memory games into Google and then pick one you like.

Get a Personal Calendar

You get these little pocket calendars for cheap. You could easily put them in your back pocket or purse and pull it out whenever you wanted to check what you had for that day or add something else you need to remember.
