Discipline comes down to making the right choices on time scales that are inversely proportional to your current level of discipline.
If you are super disciplined, you're thinking in terms of long term time horizons. You are able to consistently make the right choices when presented with the opportunity to waste time.
If you lack discipline, you're thinking in terms of short term time horizons. You consistently make the wrong choices when presented with the opportunity to waste time.
Something to try: take it in 10 minute intervals. You don't have to do the right thing forever, just for the next 10 minutes.
Bonus tip: Learn to identify the sensation of slipping up. Part of the problem is that when we get off track, it can take a long time to get back on track. Learn to minimize the amount of time it takes to get back on track, and best of all, learn to identify it while it is happening and stop it right there.
Discipline is like anything else. The more you practice the easier it gets.
