                During our time as students, we will have many classes to attend, assignments to complete, and exams to prepare. All these activities will require self-discipline to complete. Therefore, developing the ability to be self-disciplined will be important to get things done in school and life. 

                When we want to build our self-discipline, we should first identify the distractions in our life. A common example is the smartphone: we may be caught up in messaging our friends or surfing the Internet non-stop. If this is true for you, the best advice is to put your phone away or, if you are not comfortable with this, at least turn it off when you are working or studying. Similarly, figure out what things often distract you and find practical ways to eliminate them.

                You should also know your own specific needs, such as a tendency to become hungry at a specific time of the day, since this knowledge will help you build self-discipline if you can make use of it. For example, if you feel most energized in the afternoon each day, then it might be best to schedule your most challenging task at that time. That means you will require less mental energy to work on it and will be less likely to lose your focus.

                Building and maintaining self-discipline is linked to your motivation, so you will want to keep your motivation level high. To help you do this, try treat yourself to something, such as a break or a snack upon completing a task. This will be a small boost that energizes and recharge your mind. While it is a small effect, doing so frequently over time can accumulate the amount of motivation that leads to better self-discipline.
