The Stoics were masters of self-discipline.

There is nothing less Stoic than disorganization, than chaos, than “winging it.” That’s why we develop a routine, why we set standards (and meet them), why we’re on top of our lives, why we take things seriously.

Epictetus would remind his students that few things in life are improved by inattention. Marcus Aurelius would remind himself in Meditations not just to “concentrate like a Roman,” but to do each task in front of him with seriousness and diligence…as if it was the last thing he was doing in his life.

In this video Ryan Holiday talks about the ways you can cultivate and maintain self discipline in your life.
