4 mindsets of highly disciplined people (Nick Wignall)

In this insightful article, Wignall challenges the conventional belief that discipline is about doing more.

Instead, he introduces four transformative mindsets that emphasize doing less but with greater focus:

1. Progress Through Subtraction – Eliminate obstacles and distractions to make meaningful progress.
2. When You’re Stuck, Break It Up – Divide tasks into smaller, manageable parts to maintain momentum.
3. Less But Better – Prioritize quality over quantity by focusing on what truly matters.
4. Values Over Feelings – Let your core values guide actions, even when emotions tempt you to stray.

« Highly disciplined people don’t simply have more willpower than the rest of us. Instead, they cultivate mindsets that help them do great work consistently. »
