In this final episode of our two-part Dear Creator series on Creative Discipline, we dig into some uncommon but effective habits that build real structure — not just for your own process, but for how…
[laughs] But Salem, we've been talking a lot about, uh, discipline, and I think it's gonna be important for us to also qualify what we mean by discipline, right? And just the fact that when we think about discipline, we're talking about our own personal creative discipline, but there's also how it appears externally and how it influences other people in the workspaces in which we work.
So what really is discipline, and how does indiscipline affect others and teams? That's something I wanna, I want us to talk about.
I don't know the dictionary definition.
[laughs] The dictionary definition really is along the lines, and I'm paraphrasing, but it's along the lines of being able to show up and do something consistently-
Mm-hmm

Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.

Mm-hmm
... putting in the effort to do-
Mm
... what it is that you're trying to do, right?
Yeah.
Um, as it contributes to a whole, right?
Mm.
[laughs]
Yes.
Right? Because it's not just about you.
You're not trying to be-
Yeah
... disciplined just for yourself.
