Is it possible to change your environment to force yourself to take action? (e.g., get other people involved, plan out your days to the nines, give yourself punishments for not completing your desired actions, etc.) Self-discipline can be built up, of course, but it's much easier to switch around your context to be more productive and in line with what you want to do. For example, I find I work much harder on brainstorming when I'm in the cafe at Barnes and Nobles than opposed to my kitchen table... because 1) I know I can't take breaks, 2) the presence of people makes me automatically assume somebody is keeping me in line (when in reality, nobody is there watching me over my shoulder), and 3) I know what I'm do is going to have a real effect on my life, if I take it to completion.

If your context doesn't reinforce the behaviors you want, you won't get the results you want. Switch up your environment to promote the actions you want to take, and you might have an easier time.
