More Than Motivation Hack (That Works!)

We know that motivation and discipline are two key aspects to ensure long term success, but how do we keep it going when the going gets so tough? Should we work on getting motivated or on creating discipline?
Even in uncertain times, getting a quick spurt of motivation in the moment is not that hard. Motivation is about the “why” — the gratification that comes from doing something for a specific immediate outcome. The problem is that quick spurts of motivation are not sustainable. On the other hand, while creating discipline for the long haul is more difficult, it is sustainable. Motivation is about the “why,” but discipline is about the “how.”
