Different strokes for different folks. Forcing yourself to do something can be considered discipline, but for many that's just stubbornly using the wrong tool (mental state) for the job. Which usually takes longer, gives poor results, and leads to fatigue and burnout. However that approach does work well for some. (Seems to work much better for morning people than night people in my experience.) For others, discipline consists of using the right tool for the right job to maximize both productivity and health. Which means given the tools available, pick one of the many tasks that need doing and can be done with that tool. Resulting in more productivity, better results, and an uplifting energizing feeling that makes other tools available. Although for some people, that second approach might just result in procrastinating, in which case they should consider trying the forced discipline approach. So finding out which path fits your temperament and taking advantage of it is the way to go.
