Having a tough time being disciplined and following through with your commitments to yourself?

Big expectations may be to blame for your blase.

Turbocharged Type A’s love to get dramatic results quickly.  If you’re brushing your teeth in hopes of meeting Prince Charming, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.  Sooner or later, you’re going to get disenchanted and toss the toothbrush out the door.

For Type As it’s tough to stay disciplined and motivated when the pay-off seems too far off, too small or too boring.  The solution?  Turn down the short-term expectations and keep your eyes on the longer term, bigger pay-off.
