Motivation is trying to feel like doing stuff, while discipline is doing it even if you don't feel like it. Building habits is a way to cultivate discipline.

Screw motivation, what you need is discipline.

read the part 2 as well and this makes total sense. i think the most important thing mentioned is dividing one big task into multiple tiny ones because it helps you have that feeling of accomplishment of finishing a task without actually finishing the big one. the dopamine you need to keep going and not give up. im a chronic procrastinator and i can confirm it’s a game changer

Not that true at all. No scientifical basis to argument against motivation. In fact, both things are important and have their own considerations in particular cases. If we neglect motivation, at least a good understanding of it as a need, we ignore the importance of mental health that prevents diseases such as depression and anxiety. The tone of this post comes from a desperate, frustrated man who requires some therapy.

This is probably the hardest thing to change to everybody. We are mostly made to not be too active (I guess…), and discipline is hard to adopt. Once adopted though, it’s probably the best thing ever. You become very productive.

I can see the point that discipline is highly underrated as a factor for being productive. While there are plenty of sources out there talking about motivation and how to get people motivated etc., rarely do we see discipline being mentioned.
However, I’d disagree with the premise that “motivation is trying to feel like doing stuff” - that’s a very narrow view on motivation and it’s only applicable if you think about motivation as a driver for a single task that needs to be done. In my opinion, motivation is something bigger and more complex. It’s about people liking their work environment and their colleagus and feeling engaged, productive and enabled to deliver quality. It’s about people liking their jobs despite the tedious tasks which are part of every job and which require discipline.
