Sprinting Theory: Taking Self-Discipline to Another Level

Posted on November 9, 2015November 9, 2015 by Asif Amod

Sprinting Theory is essential to self-discipline. Research has revealed, that willpower isn’t just a state of mind. It’s actually a resource that maybe exhausted and charged up again similar to a car battery. Whenever you delay doing things, it’s not necessarily because you are a “idle” person, but due to the fact that your inner energy levels are running low. Sprinting Theory attempts to repair this issue through motivating you to concentrate on the timeframe in which self-discipline is needed.

Should you be running a 200m sprint, the primary objective would be different than completing a marathon. Sprinting inside a marathon usually means that you won’t be able to make it more than a few kilometers. To implement Sprinting Theory, try to look for the allowable range of any goal. Right here is the range where self-discipline is most crucial.

Whenever setting your timeboxes, give attention to that range. It’s going to prevent you from burning out early or running slowly. Some examples are listed below:

1. Getting out of bed – Compel yourself to remain awake for 15 minutes before hitting the snooze button. Typically, after that, it’s simpler to continue being awake.

2. Behaviors – Give attention to one’s behavioral changes for 30 days. When you finish, it becomes permanent.

3. Creative Blocks – Continue to keep rolling for an additional 25 or so minutes before you take a break.

About Me

Most people wake up to an alarm clock. I wake up to roosters and the hum of solar panels. Life out here isn’t always easy, but that’s the point. I have six kids, and we homeschool—actually, we unschool. No rigid curriculums, just learning through curiosity and real challenges.

Islam plays a huge role in my life. It reminds me that success isn’t just about money or status—it’s about what you do with what you’ve been given. I am the co-founder of an ethically focused digital agency where we build cloud software and marketing systems.
