Two Weeks Alone: A Discipline Test
I recently returned from a trip to my home country, while my wife and daughter stayed on for a few extra weeks. Almost immediately, I noticed something unexpected: the built-in discipline that naturally exists when you’re surrounded by the people you care about was suddenly gone.
Without those quiet boundaries in place, I was confronted with a level of self-discipline I hadn’t truly practiced in years.
Simple things became intentional again:
⏰ Waking up at a set time
📌 Keeping on top of household chores
🗓️ Planning time outside of work
🛒 Planning meals to avoid defaulting to convenience and unhealthy takeout.
It’s been more challenging than I anticipated, and honestly, a bit of a wake-up call. I realised that when urgency is created externally, it’s easy to perform. But when that pressure disappears, it exposes where comfort has replaced commitment.
This period has been a reminder that real discipline isn’t enforced by circumstance. It’s built quietly, in the absence of structure, when no one is watching.
