I don't agree with the article at all. The author advocates that you should change the environment around you so less discipline is needed to stay focused.

I think this is counter productive. If this were a fundamental principle than our problems concerning procrastination would be solved for good. You browse unimportant websites and thus waste time? Just install Leechblock and the thereby created environment will require just as much "discipline" as you've got. Yeah, right ...

It's also nagging me how he tosses around with words like "discipline" & "willpower" as if they were just as defined as colors like red and green.
