Self-discipline is vastly overrated and often the enemy of integrity.

​

If you focus on creating and maintaining Now-Next integrity (using the NNI toolkit when needed), as well as Oneself-Others integrity (using the OOI toolkit), then self-discipline becomes the hard and unreliable way to take care of your future and your relationships.

​

The idea of self-discipline is the glorification of self-sacrifice, usually sacrificing Your-Now for Your-Next or Your-Oneself for Your-Others.

Learning from nature

​

Let's learn from nature. Nature's design for life and vitality motivates us to care for the future by making what’s beneficial pleasurable and what’s harmful unpleasant.

Who needs self-discipline to make sure they eat regularly?

​

The prime example is eating. Nature wanted to encourage eating regularly (so that we would continue to thrive and propagate). So she made eating pleasurable and not eating (for very long) unappetizing. Consequently, we easily take ongoing action to ensure that we eat, usually one or more times per day. We require no self-discipline to do this. Nature would have made a big mistake (and we wouldn’t have survived as a species) if she had relied on self-discipline to ensure we ate regularly. 

​

The NNI toolkit and OOI toolkit are your go-to resources for learning how to create and maintain integrity between Your-Now and Your-Next, and between Your-Oneself and Your-Others, eliminating the need for the unreliable (and difficult) self-discipline.

Say goodbye to self-discipline and say hello to integrity.
