Hey @thauerbyi Awesome post and great points, really enjoyed reading through it! I would just like to add that you should have a certain dose of flexibility as motives, goals, circumstances, values change so what works for me is that, having pretty strong Resistance, as Steven Pressfield puts it, not to be brutally honest and say lazy xD what works for me the best is having a general direction, a whole lot of flexibility and strong discipline so not to slack off.
Here I posted smth about using Pomodoro technique if anyone is interested:
