The Seinfeld calendar has been pivotal to me. Look it up.
Basically you come up with a standard of behavior and check off every day if you act in accordance to that. Helped him discipline himself to create a comedy empire.
My slant to it is that I
1) constantly email rule adjustments if I want to have new rules (say I'm not allowed to drink until a Wednesday demo).
2) have a sponsor, well my wife, who I run ambiguities by, in case I want to have an exception to a rule. Example, if I commit to cleaning every day and I get sick, that day is okay to mark off. But forcing me to verbalize my exceptions means I'll only use them as needed.
3) I treat this calendar as holy, simply so I take deviations seriously. Reason for this is that it is a bitch starting it again if I fall off.
4) I have prescheduled cheat days and stuff like that.
In short, this system works great for me. I might be bad at explaining the complexities here, but feel free to contact me for more info. My best weapon.
