Self-Discipline: Practical Tips

In light of yesterday's post, Stop Wasting Time, and in keeping with the vision and purpose of The Rebelution, Brett and I would encourage all of you to read the article, Learning Self-Discipline by John MacArthur.

HT: Clarissa Ramos of the ever-excellent blog, The David Trait.
If our encouragement is not enough, here's another push to make you go and read the article (and to give you an idea of the practicality and helpfulness). Here are the section titles:
  • Start with small things.
  • Get yourself organized.
  • Don't constantly seek to be entertained.
  • Be on time.
  • Keep your word.
  • Do the most difficult tasks first.
  • Finish what you start.
  • Accept correction.
  • Practice self-denial.
  • Welcome responsibility.
Excellent stuff, huh? A lot of the things we've talked about, from a man with a lot more experience and wisdom than we have.
Go read the article.
