Crossing barriers

I feel one of my biggest weaknesses is a common trait, laziness. I think, plan well and know what is at stake. I approach situations very logically and take appropriate decisions. But when it comes to putting those 2 extra hours, sitting through a grueling task, doing something that doesn't necessarily interest me but is going to be helpful in some way or another, I sometimes let laziness get the better of my judgement and resort to not putting in the hours. This is something that has made me regret my actions many a time but I have continued repeating it. I decided to take control and responsibility for my actions and ask myself before thinking about quitting. Does this fit into my big picture, and if it does, I have taken a strong resolve to do it no matter how much I am tempted to not. I believe this helps me form a framework to realize the things that matter and helps me keep my self-discipline in check. Realizing that I am accountable for my own actions and going through a few hours of grind will help me avoid regret in the future, gets me going. I make promises to myself and try to understand why I feel like not doing something in the first place. When it is something that is in fact, part of my big picture, I understand how much mental strength is needed. This helps me identify the core of the problem and in turn, helps me resolve it too.
