Absolutely, it does require discipline. As a matter of fact I force myself not to devote more than 10 minutes to email & news, and I'm helped there by not wanting to waste my early rise for that. I also force myself to plan exactly which task I'm going to work on in the morning the day before, that helps me A LOT in becoming productive as fast as possible.
