You know those people who have every thing in order... their houses are immaculate, their gardens perfect, their lives very structured and full of self-discipline? Yeah, those people. They piss me off to no end, because I just can't figure out how they do it! They piss me off, because they are masters of self-discipline, and seem to do it so effortlessly, and I just can't even to seem to succeed at adding one simple little consistent routine into my life. No, I don't hate organized people...I admire them.
My life is a whirlwhind of chaos. I can't seem to get up at the same time every morning, which then messes up any attempt I make at establishing a morning routine. I know it comes down to a matter of self-discipline too, and I'll admit, I have a serious deficiency in that area. So, how does one go about teaching oneself self-discipline? Is it actually possible to do it on one's own? Does it require a coach to hold one's hand at the beginning, gradually easing the grip once the trainee begins to master basic self-discipline? If so, where do I start? or where do I find such a coach? I am currently at a loss to know where or how to begin.

Start by setting the alarm and getting up. My alarm goes off at 7:30am every morning... even the ones I don't have to get up for. I then wake and decide if I am needed somewhere in 2 hrs or not. If I am I get up and get ready. If not then I reset the alarm for 9:30am.
Also make a morning list and check things off as you go each morning. Make it very detailed. My list looks like this:
-wake
-brush teeth and hair (maybe shower)
-dress
-get juice
-take vitamins
-check email & blogs
-breakfast
-make day's To Do list
The vitamins are a new addition to mine.
LOL...thanks for the suggestion. I'm pretty good at making the morning list, and the to do lists... problem is, actually sticking to the list...groan.
