Sounds like you’re trying to do a ton. For me the secret to being disciplined long term is knowing when to slack off and go easy on myself. Otherwise you’ll burn out. And free time and going easy on yourself helps you gain perspective on what’s most important to work on. You might find there’s a lot of tasks and stuff that just aren’t important or could be delayed.

In short the secret to discipline for me has been slacking off, gaining perspective and self forgiveness, then doubling down on what’s really important to you.
