I recently recorded a podcast with Seth Godin, a really smart and prolific blogger, and in our conversation, I asked him about the discipline it takes him to write a blog post every single day.

Before answering my question, he re-framed it for me, saying that he didn’t like to think of it in terms of discipline but rather intention.

His words have had me thinking ever since.

Intention versus Discipline – this is such an important distinction. So important that in today’s episode, I am taking a deeper dive into this idea and giving you some quick tips and ideas to help you re-frame how you’re distinguishing between the two and how you can decide to be more intentional.

Tweet it out: Rather than imposing new disciplines on yourself, decide that you want to do new things. @KevinEikenberry
