I am horrible at self discipline.
It was never really a problem before since I was in basic classes in freshman year and it all came easy to me, but now its affecting my grades real badly now that I’m a sophomore taking all advanced and AP classes. And I especially have a hard time disciplining myself to go to bed early , do my homework after school, and study.
I care a lot about my grades, and I can’t afford to be lazy anymore. How do you achieve self discipline? Any tricks or tips?

- Start setting goals for yourself
- Try utilise a daily diary and plan the next week or the next few days in advance to see what you need to do
- Always note in your diary when the assignments are due
- When closing exams, type up a list of topics you need to cover, print it out and tick off as you prepare
- Make designated folders for each subject in order to stay organised
- Stick a goal of a mark you may want to achieve infront of your desk
- Stick a year planner to mark the term weeks and what is due when
- Fun at fun time and study at study time, stick to your schedule, but don’t be too hard on yourself…its ok to be lazy sometimes
May be you just need a break and try follow the above and see what happens.
