Discipline · also called self-regulation
how to be disciplined
Discipline is the ability to act according to a decision already made, regardless of how you feel at the moment of acting. It is not the absence of reluctance. It is the irrelevance of reluctance to the outcome.
What to do about it
Stop waiting to feel ready. Readiness follows the act; it does not precede it.
