True discipline means consistently caring for yourself, not constantly serving others. When you get busy, you ditch sleep, food, exercise, and friends. Neglecting self-care is what kills your discipline and burns you out.

I actually think discipline is what leads to avoiding burnout, but the discipline is not around doing everything for everybody at all times. The discipline is to remember to take care of yourself and do the things that are good for you. So the first thing that goes out the window when we get busy is the healthy habits. We start going to bed later, we start eating worse, we start stopping to exercise, we start avoiding people that we enjoy being with— friends, family, partners. So the discipline is actually something that will help you avoid burnout if you're disciplined to yourself and to your own needs and your own desires. So if you're starting to feel like the discipline is slipping, look at whether or not you're taking care of yourself first and then worrying about taking care of others or taking care of the business second.
