I have a hypothesis that a lack of discipline is really just a lack of understanding. Think about it. When someone doesn't have the discipline to do something, they think they should probably do it, but don't fully understand what they'd gain by doing it, and what they'd sacrifice by not doing it. At the very least, understanding why you should do something will provide you with more motivation to do it. I just feel like (in general, not you specifically) if you truly understand why you should do something, it isn't hard to motivate yourself to do it. So, I think you should sit down and think about what you want to do with your life. Consider all the options, narrow them down, educate yourself on things you're interested in but aren't familiar with, try things out. Once you understand why you don't want to do the things you don't want to do, and you understand why you do want to do the things you do want to do, I think you'll find the motivation to do them.
