Habits. It's all habit. Develop strong routines and eventually it becomes as automatic as putting toothpaste on your toothbrush and turning on the tap.
Will power is a muscle, so if you ingrain shyt into your brain that is part of your everyday mechanics, you won't mentally burn out or wear yourself out.
They use this technique on people with Alzheimer's to give them a healthy & happy life. They can't remember what just happened an hour ago, but if you threw em out on the street, they'd know how to get back home.

i think what most people dont say is this habit most likely takes YEARS to train. very long, hard years
if there was an easy shortcut or way to do it, everyone would
discipline is a skill that needs to be practiced just like every other skill.
How can you go through life and be a slave to your own desires?
real shyt It should make you feel emasculated that the rational conscious part of your brain is too weak to control your irrational animalistic desires
Forcing yourself to choose long term success over short term pleasure gets easier over time until you have complete control, like improving your left handed layups. shyt is hard af at first but gets natural over time because you spent your whole life neglecting your left and using your right. If you spent your whole life procrastinating and giving into temptation it will feel awkward and wrong when you try to accomplish something.
Practically speaking it takes about a month of a daily repeated routine until that routine becomes a habit. No other way, you gotta force yourself to work for 30 days straight no exceptions if you want a strong work ethic.
But the effort you invest into becoming more disciplined will pay off more than you can imagine

To be honest... a lot of this "work" a LOT of these Artists do is nothing more than SITTING.
12 Hour Studio Sesion for example...
Honestly... cats sit around the Studio in chairs or on a nice comfy couch for hours in between takes. Cats watch TV, play Madden or 2k, browse the Internet, talk amongst eachother, order food & eat for an hour, etc. In a typical 12 hour studio session, maybe 1-2 Hours of that is ACTUAL recording/writing.
Plane rides? Sitting...
Tours? Outside of the actual Hour Performance at MOST, you're sitting. Sitting backstage chilling, talking, watching TV, browsing the Internet, etc. Sitting on the Tour Bus in between Cities, Venues, etc.
Radio Interviews last what? An Hour at most? And you're still sitting. After & before Interviews you're sitting in your Tour Bus playing Madden, 2k, etc, talking, browsing the Internet, etc. Sitting.
I've done everything with Artists from D-Listers to A-Listers & I can tell you this... none of them work nearly as hard as they claim they do, Simple.
Athletes? They work hard...
