I have a feeling most people here saying it's a bad advice, didn't get it in the first place. I think the key is that you got to give yourself a little freedom in the short distance, but be disciplined in the long run. For example, I think I'm going to get some sleep now and work in the morning, not tonight. But I'm still going to do the job. The only difference is: I'd be more productive. It's like (a + b) is still the same thing as (b + a). But because 'a' is the first letter of the alphabet (for most of us) it's more natural to put it first. And another short thought that I think is relevant: discipline is not about forcing yourself to work when you don't want to, but it's about managing the time and finding the best spots for your work to be done. Of course, self-employment is best for this.
