This is a really hard topic. The article goes in the right direction that feelings should be consciously suppressed to make "unpleasant" things a habit. Like washing the dishes. A sense of responsibility over "feeling like doing it" must be cultivated. The meta game of all of this is that, to get anything done by discipline, you need to want that, in the same sense that one wants a glass of water. No sequence of characters are guaranteed to make you stand up and act without a sincere will to do it. Trying to reprogram yourself to want it is an exercise of luck where some succeed, some not. Then one day you wake up and have it, like a blessing. I decided to go to the gym 4 weeks ago after years of trying and failing. Since then I've been going consistently even when not feeling like doing it. Can't pinpoint a motive other than god updated my firmware with the will to do it. I hope it lasts long enough.
