Vivien,

I used to want to be more disciplined, because I believed I was a naturally disorganized person who couldn't keep a schedule or build habits.

Then I realized I brushed my teeth every night without fail.

After that, my big life question changed from "how can I be more disciplined as a writer" to something more like "how can I make writing more like brushing my teeth?"

All that is to say, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Thought you'd like the example.
