Is motivation really enough to help you to get things done? In this episode of Hack N' Tackle, Stuart "Hodgeythehack" Hodge and Daniel Glyde explore why motivation can be unreliable, especially when you start negotiating with yourself. Whether it's skipping the gym, putting off a task or reaching for your phone instead of going to sleep, it's easy to convince yourself that "tomorrow" will be different. They discuss why discipline takes that negotiation out of the equation: turning the things you know you should do into non-negotiables. Over time, those small decisions become habits, routines and a way of life. Because you won't always feel motivated. Sometimes, you just need the discipline to do it anyway.
