There’s a quote I once came across that caught my attention few days yet I ignored.
Follow your plan, not your mood.
The truth is, I never really managed to internalize it fully. It’s easy to understand but hard to practice. Following a plan, especially when emotions pull you in different directions, requires willpower or sometimes, a strong reason that reminds you why you started.
There are no playbooks or shortcuts to switch off emotions and instantly operate from your logical brain. It takes conscious effort.
What has worked for me, though, is keeping the end point/result in mind, the satisfaction of seeing the work completed. Sometimes, even creating a little fear of missing out if I don’t stick to the plan helps. It’s a mental nudge that keeps me from drifting.
Over time, this practice slowly builds into a habit. It creates a quiet sense of self-awareness the kind that reminds you that discipline often begins where motivation fades.
Try experimenting with this mindset and see how it works for you.
Cheers
