Being more conscientious.

It's discipline by another word.

Valuing the long term over the short term. Surprisingly, not procrastinating and doing the hard thing sooner than later pays off huge dividends. I don't know why I spent decades chasing ephemeral pleasures that went nowhere and left me with not much at all over a daily "chop wood carry water" of concerted effort (even if it seemed like a mind numbing chore).
