Okay, so I stumbled upon this “Courtney Ruan discipline” thing, and I was like, “What’s this all about?” I’m always up for trying new ways to get my act together, so I figured I’d give it a shot and see what happened. Here’s how it went down.
The Beginning: Total Chaos (aka My Usual)
First off, my usual routine is, well, non-existent. I’m all over the place. Wake up whenever, scroll through my phone for an hour, maybe get some work done, maybe just watch cat videos. Total chaos, basically. So, the idea of “discipline” was pretty foreign to me.
The Dive In: Research and Setup
I started by, you know, actually looking up what Courtney Ruan’s whole deal is. Found some of her stuff, watched a few videos, and took some notes. It seemed like a mix of time-blocking, prioritizing tasks, and, like, actually sticking to a plan. I felt a little intimidated, but also kinda motivated.
I grabbed a notebook and a pen (old school, I know), and I started jotting down the things I actually needed to do. Work stuff, personal stuff, even things like “remember to eat lunch.” (Yes, I sometimes forget to eat lunch. Don’t judge.)
The First Few Days: Rough Start, Minor Victories
- Day 1: Tried to time-block. Failed miserably. Ended up getting distracted by, I think, a squirrel outside my window. But! I did manage to finish one important task, so…baby steps?
- Day 2: Slightly better. Used a timer (my phone, ironically) to keep myself on track. Still got distracted, but less so. Felt weirdly productive.
- Day 3: Actually followed my schedule for, like, half the day! Felt like a superhero. Celebrated with a small piece of chocolate. (Discipline doesn’t mean deprivation, right?)
The Grind: Finding My Rhythm (Sort Of)
After the initial rocky start, I started to get the hang of it. It wasn’t perfect, not by a long shot. But I started to see the benefits. I was actually getting things done! Things I’d been putting off for weeks! It was like magic…or, you know, just basic planning and execution.
I realized that the key for me wasn’t about being super strict, but about being intentional. Like, actually thinking about what I needed to do and then making a conscious effort to do it. Who knew?
The Results: Still a Work in Progress, But…
So, am I a perfectly disciplined machine now? Nope. Not even close. But am I better than I was before? Definitely. I’m still working on it, still tweaking things, still figuring out what works best for me.
The biggest takeaway? It’s not about overnight transformation. It’s about making small, consistent changes, and being okay with the fact that you’re going to mess up sometimes. Just keep trying, keep adjusting, and eventually, you’ll start to see progress. And that, my friends, is pretty darn cool.
