How I've "forced" myself to be more disciplined : 1) I no longer sleep with my phone 2) My phone is not allowed in my room which is where I work 3) I am allowed to take my phone for my workout and when I go outside 4) I wake up at 5:30 am and go to bed at 9:30 pm 5) I start my day with 1H of workout before starting my work 6) I eat better, sleep better, drink better I work as I never did in my life with this routine, I learn a lot of stuff for example I'm writting in english and it's not even my first language I'm french ! Before starting my routine, I had the feeling that all of my projects were on hold because I couldn't get the work done, now it is another story. Do not give up on yourself, you are worthy and you deserve to treat yourself properly ! Lots of love

Selecting daily wardrobe the night before (or once a week for the whole week) works great for people who enjoy fashion. Really reduces stress in the AM by planning the night before. When I did not care what I wore, I had a harder time taking the time to set up what I was going to wear.
A trick that I use is: when I am tired I do a task to check if i am really tired or I am just lazy. If I don't get asleep I was just lazy. If I am getting asleep I sleep 20min and then I do the task
I’ve been doing this for some time now, always laying around the stuff I’ll need the night before: my clothes, my keys, any other weird thing, going as far as placing little notes for myself… Making my life easier has also contributed to thanking myself multiple times thus loving myself more lmao I won’t lock my phone away but I do really need to download some kind of app to only allow myself to receive calls and such. IOS already has some functions for that but you can actually make some “exceptions” and that doesn’t help me at all
There is an extreme power saver mode in a few phones where your wifi/data doesnt work and you can receive calls or texts. Additionally those are the only apps you can see untill you switch off that mode. Its not there for iOS i think but androids may work.
Man I am always so jealous when I hear people speak about Will and all of the power he has. One day I too want to have Will's power 🌻Hope these techniques help me
My 3 year old phone started to frequently lag a few months ago, and I had to remove a handful of apps. Turns out, those apps I removed were either unnecessary, or have counterpart programs on a laptop and irl stuff (alarms and notes), eventually turning my phone into a basic phone that doesn't lag as much anymore. Thanks to your video, I can reinforce stuff that I've already been doing. Will add the "out of sight, out of mind" context more often now too!
Thanks Tina for sharing the idea of locking your phone! We often don't realize it but we're being slaves to our phones when we start mindlessly scrolling it through the wee hours of the night. I didn't want to spend 70 bucks on a locking container so I found an alternative I thought I'd share! It's called "Lock My phone (Zen Mode)" and it basically makes it impossible to unlock your phone (without paying) during the hours you set it to be locked! Worked so well for me!
I have a similar trick. I put my phone at the other end of the flat at midnight and I'm lazy enough not to go get it until I really need it. I sleep better and usually I get an hour of reading done before getting the phone in the morning. I also deleted all social media apps and now the only social stuff I can do with it is check emails and messages. I also don't allow myself to look at news on the phone. Which means that even if I do get my phone, I'm unlikely to use it for procrastination. This alone has tricked me into spending way less time on social media / looking at news, mainly because those websites are just utterly painful on computers these days! Currently I'm also training myself to close the tab every time something I see on the internet annoys me. Like a trigger -> response type thing. Since there is a lot of annoying stuff on social media + news, I mostly close the tab after scrolling down a few times. Seems to be working! Another good trick is to just allow yourself to procrastinate in very tight boundaries. At uni I had a half and half schedule. 45 min heavy brain squeeze studying followed by 45min of watching series. Since I was doing that from 8am to 1am in the morning back then I usually got around 7-8h of studying done while most of my friends couldn't even get to half that time because they tried to study many hours in a row and everything past 1h turned to inefficient brain fog. And I spent half the day watching series! My path to an MSc with distinction? Watching every single episode of Star Trek 😆 I don't procrastinate quite as much anymore, but when I do I usually start watching series in foreign languages now. Nothing quite as hilarious as Stargate in Spanish or Buffy the vampire slayer in French! It's the opposite of self-discipline, but it really helps with brain fatigue when you need to concentrate for long stretches of time.
This is very helpful, I really like your style of doing things more easy to achieve, and I find some similar challenges that faces me but you conquer them so you give me a clear vision of how can I be the ideal self I want to be💖
Instead of locking your phone, try creating a focus profile. The profile can be activated by time or location. And you can ask for someone to put a password for you. Of course you can circumvent it, but any extra attrition helps with discipline. The iPhone can have more profiles than the default ones. It even suggests a work profile with social media and entertainment apps limited.
During my preparation time for university exams i installed a parental control software on my PC. Restricting daytime and amount of social media and games. After giving the password to a friend i wasn't able to procrastinate with this anymore. This helped a lot. ;-)
Discipline can be easy to do, all you need to do is not procrastinate. For example, do it now always, not do it later. Anyway thank you for sharing, you kinda mentioned what it’s called SMART goals which are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time bound. For example I will do my homework at 3:30pm, from 3:30-5:00pm. I also personally think we need to make time for fun things and rewarding yourself for doing the hard work.
Thank you, Tina. I think that tips you provided are the consequense of acceptance of being lazy (no offence!) and accepting one's limits. Like....I didn't pass this challenge and I still have "productive" self-image. So I'm burned out and procrastinating all the time. And time flies and I don't complete my tasks, I don't keep up. And it frustrates me even more, and it goes on and on. So, it's a paradox. After understanding that one is lazy - productivity grows and vice versa.
this is the second video where ive seen that lock box and it looks awesome...but my paranoid brain immediately went to, "what if someone breaks into my house and tries to murder me and and then i need my phone to call 911 😭"
I'm a stubborn type, I need constant reinforcement to get started on tasks I already know I should be working on. That said, your videos have absolutely moved me to commit to myself. BTW, I too read James Clear, and follow other youtubers who focus on system-focused approaches, so I'm learning.

Get a cheap black and white phone without internet and re-address calls to this sim from your main number. If something very important had happened you would get a call and everything else could definitely wait :)
I got Light phone because I was concerned of an emergency. I can receive and make phone calls and realize that I just didn't want to be without my smartphone
I can't imagine waking up smiling when my phone alarm goes off 😂, I'd just slap my phone and sleep a bit more haha. Thanks for sharing these tricks, Tina! Badly need this phone lock!
te recomiendo de que si usas la alarma de tu celular, lo dejes a unos metros de distancia donde tengas que levantarte para apagarlo. PD:no lo apagues y vuelvas a la cama porque ahi si vas a estar preocupada jaja
If you don't have access to a timed lock to put your phone in. there is an app that you can use. Im pretty sure you can receive calls for emergencies. Also you can still use it as an alarm clock
I turned off the "Listen for Hey Siri" audio command so I would have to hold the button on my iphone 8 for it to work. This actually helped me realize how many useless questions I was asking and helps me focus on other tasks. Also while I don't have a physical alarm clock I use my phone for countdowns and alarms. (lots of alarms).
I have ADD and my entire life I never quite grasped what was wrong with me that the advice to do the hardest thing first because of motivation just never worked. Hell, I studied neuroscience, I was aware of how ADHD works on a strictly chemical and physical level with DAT and adenosine and glucose/etc, and even then I'd just zero in on how "but how come I'm less productive when I take the productive people's advice" instead of, for years at least, recognizing that when things are chemically backwards you gotta do things backwards. That is start with the smaller "easier" tasks and work your way up to the harder ones through the day since we tend to build motivation as the day goes on and we complete things (well, more extreme than most people) I'm far from perfect, I'm a sprinter, but aside from getting a manual alarm clock and journaling so that I can remind myself why I'm even waking up in the morning...and obviously medication as time has gone on and brain gets older...is learning to go with the flow vs against it. Works for me to build xp before facing the boss battle vs doing the hard battle first when the hp bar is full? cool, do that. Can't seem to break focus a la pomodoro timers or endurance run for 8+h days? ok well 2h sprints (2h work then 2h errands/exercise/play/whatever) does work - so it might mean the day being "longer" but it's less straining. also it's not really feasible if you don't have many friends or many good friends, and is part of why I twitch stream, but if I have a planned hangout with friends at the end of the day I'm so much more motivated to race against the clock and get things done.
This is definitely a good plan for those of us who struggle to be disciplined. I'll see what things I can implement. My phone is a huge distraction. Idk about locking it away just yet. Will try to limit notifications I receive and how accessible social media is on my phone at first. If that doesn't work then I'll maybe lock it away.... Oh so hard 🤣
Aside from environment design being extremely useful, there is one thing that personally concerns me and that's time management. I know one solution is to start working on a task early, but if your life tends to be designed in a way that you get thrown random urgent tasks very often, what do you do if 12pm comes around and your task isn't finished? For me, I get 100 x times more desperate because now I am already exhausted from being disciplined and such and it's finally chill o'clock but I can't show up because I never managed to find the pesky bug in my code for example so the day spirals into a stressful mess.
This was awesome! Thank you for the tips. For fashion people: plan your outfits ahead of time for the week 😊 will help with not spending time planning everyday
Locking your phone away is admirable! Maybe someday I will be at that level. For now, I usually leave my phone on top of my fridge when I am working in my office.
I don't my phone as alarm too. I have my old phones without touch screen as my alarms. Without it I always check my messengers, emails and then start to watch youtube.
What if I don't want tricks? What if I want to be capable be disciplined with my mind alone just able to resist? There is something insidious about having to rely on tricks in order to discipline my own mind. I'm not really disciplined because I have no choice but to be if I'm locked out.
I struggle to focus when I’m working from home at my new Data Analyst job for the same reasons🥺 I literally spend my life eating random stuff as an excuse not to work, so I might steel that fridge trick
You should get the book called -Break up with you phone- it talks about almost everything you said about phones and it has some awesome advice about it
I'm always conflicted by videos like this. On one hand, I applaud the discipline the other hand it makes me uneasy. I know for myself if I had to implement many of these solutions for myself it would signal that something has gone wrong with my state of mental health. Because many of these solutions are things I have implemented when I was digging myself out of a very severe depression. So yes these are good interventions but make sure you're doing them for the right reasons. The fridge lock is a little much for me. If you have to lock your fridge to keep to an intermittent fasting cycle then those probably signals that that kind of eating plan is not right for you. I have phases of my life when I can do intermittent fasting but that's because it makes me feel good. It really would be easier just to optimize what you keep IN your fridge rather than keeping out of it. The phone issue. Well, I'm grateful I was born at that sweet spot where I still remember things being analog and had already become an adult before smartphones came out so I'm not quite so attached to them. So that takes a big burden off.
@Mimi I'm not so sure it's high functioning if you have to force yourself so much. It's just the illusion of high functionality without long-term stability. It's better to aim for being intrinsically motivated even if it means you achieve "less"
for me the thing i did to be self-disciplined is that i turned off the notification of the social medias so i can get productive and stopped checked on the social media every 30mins. Now i check social medias sometimes at night before sleep or sometimes after 3 days xD
Hi Tina thanks for this video. Do you have a link to the hip surgery study you referenced? Keep up the great work. Your lack of trying to appear perfect makes your practical message even more impactful.
That looks awesome! But I have a couple of questions if I may: 1- What would you do if you keep getting lazy/sleep though? T_T 2- The tablet is not different than the phone so how could locking the phone matter? I will (for example) keep browsing that stupid blue world (Facebook) or (Twitter) through my Tablet if I lock up my phone .. and even worse (I'm a game programmer) I'll keep browsing these stupid blue things on my PC while working! like .. I work for 20 minutes then -unintentionally- I find myself scrolling down the Facebook >> DUHH 3- Regarding the planning, what if your day is totally random and you cannot expect anything? Different working hours .. family, kids needs ... etc.
My xiaomi phone has an app called focus mode where my phone gets blocked x time i want to so that I can stop procrastinating and focus on my work it has has made me way more productive and disciplined.
If you have to do this you may simply be unhappy or disillusioned with your life. It would seem to be a better idea to meditate and think about why you are unhappy, incorporate more breaks in you day, and perhaps speak to a therapist to get out ahead of this situation. Locking your own fridge and toying with your situation doesn't seem to address your underlying issue. Just a thought.
Everything distracting on my phone is also available on my work pc. I guess this works better when your employer tracks your visited sites, etc. (not that I am advocating for such atrocities)
To elevate concern that something could happen when my phone turned off I bought black and white phone without internet (they are very cheap) and put sim with readdressing to my main number. I don't care about messages they could wait, but if something really important will come up I will get a call.

How I've "forced" myself to be more disciplined :
1) I no longer sleep with my phone
2) My phone is not allowed in my room which is where I work
3) I am allowed to take my phone for my workout and when I go outside
4) I wake up at 5:30 am and go to bed at 9:30 pm
5) I start my day with 1H of workout before starting my work
6) I eat better, sleep better, drink better
I work as I never did in my life with this routine, I learn a lot of stuff for example I'm writting in english and it's not even my first language I'm french !
Before starting my routine, I had the feeling that all of my projects were on hold because I couldn't get the work done, now it is another story.
Do not give up on yourself, you are worthy and you deserve to treat yourself properly !
Lots of love
i get emotionally exhausted when i use phone first before doing anything, this is cool
Love that you said on "you are worthy and you deserve to treat yourself properly!". That made me feel powerful 😌
I'm still having trouble with going to bed earlier than usual but everything else so far is going well! and I'm proud of you :D
Hi. Thank you:) How is your balance of sleep/work last time? Which progress?

So yes these are good interventions but make sure you're doing them for the right reasons. The fridge lock is a little much for me. If you have to lock your fridge to keep to an intermittent fasting cycle then those probably signals that that kind of eating plan is not right for you. I have phases of my life when I can do intermittent fasting but that's because it makes me feel good. It really would be easier just to optimize what you keep IN your fridge rather than keeping out of it.
The phone issue. Well, I'm grateful I was born at that sweet spot where I still remember things being analog and had already become an adult before smartphones came out so I'm not quite so attached to them. So that takes a big burden off.
@Mimi I'm not so sure it's high functioning if you have to force yourself so much. It's just the illusion of high functionality without long-term stability. It's better to aim for being intrinsically motivated even if it means you achieve "less"
for me the thing i did to be self-disciplined is that i turned off the notification of the social medias so i can get productive and stopped checked on the social media every 30mins. Now i check social medias sometimes at night before sleep or sometimes after 3 days xD
Thank you for being an amazing mentor. i really enjoy watching channel
Good content! Absolutely agree!

You're a boss tine, a straight up magus 👾 TYsm
Great tips and examples!
You are amazing
so helpful vidéo !!!
thank you for those advice.
Hi Tina thanks for this video. Do you have a link to the hip surgery study you referenced? Keep up the great work. Your lack of trying to appear perfect makes your practical message even more impactful.
Love your videos 🔥🔥👍❤️❤️
Thank you Tina for these tricks
We need to see more of your cat!! Beautiful fur baby
started watching this channel let see how this gal help us to stay motivated
......
That looks awesome!
But I have a couple of questions if I may:
1- What would you do if you keep getting lazy/sleep though? T_T
2- The tablet is not different than the phone so how could locking the phone matter? I will (for example) keep browsing that stupid blue world (Facebook) or (Twitter) through my Tablet if I lock up my phone .. and even worse (I'm a game programmer) I'll keep browsing these stupid blue things on my PC while working! like .. I work for 20 minutes then -unintentionally- I find myself scrolling down the Facebook >> DUHH
3- Regarding the planning, what if your day is totally random and you cannot expect anything? Different working hours .. family, kids needs ... etc.
its great that you have a road bike which has a sram groupset in it!
Thank for great advices :)
sometimes I just feel like posting a comment even if I haven't watched the video yet
Haha! love the reference to Deep Work... I also listen to Cal when I am struggling with procastination... ;)
I'm confused by the locked fridge
I gotta eat to fuel my brain before I do literally anything 😅😅😅
My xiaomi phone has an app called focus mode where my phone gets blocked x time i want to so that I can stop procrastinating and focus on my work it has has made me way more productive and disciplined.
If you have to do this you may simply be unhappy or disillusioned with your life.
It would seem to be a better idea to meditate and think about why you are unhappy, incorporate more breaks in you day, and perhaps speak to a therapist to get out ahead of this situation.
Locking your own fridge and toying with your situation doesn't seem to address your underlying issue.
Just a thought.
Everything distracting on my phone is also available on my work pc. I guess this works better when your employer tracks your visited sites, etc. (not that I am advocating for such atrocities)
So you lock your phone to stay away of distraction, but keep your ipad where you can have all that distraction anyway?
Or get a landline or second dumb phone for emergencies / phone calls
To elevate concern that something could happen when my phone turned off I bought black and white phone without internet (they are very cheap) and put sim with readdressing to my main number.
I don't care about messages they could wait, but if something really important will come up I will get a call.
0:16 creep me out for a sec because my clock actually pointed to 9:30
dude... what a awesome video haha i need to put this on practice
I'm glad to know that I am not the only one struggling with this habit.😅
Great topic
This is really difficult for me because my phone is used for emergencies and as a medical device.
I place my alarm clock at the other end of the room, so I do have to get up to turn it off.
PS. You make those cut offs look great!!
Hey Tina
I am also left handed person.
Yay, I love shark tank! You have inspired me to do stuff today
how can you get more willpower?
This came right on time! 😭i have exams
I discovered the other day that when my alarm rings I turn it off. While sleep walking. I leave in far away from my bed too, in the closest.
thanks for a good video!
