What should I do to improve my self control ability?

It seems that you are just ambitious because as you said 50 pages. Oh man I would lessen that to about 10 pages so my mind won't tell that it is too much for me to do. I rather do something even less than not accomplish anything at all. It might stress me to work but is there anything worth doing? Why not try to draw some 50 little vertical lines and cross out each one after reading one page. The joy of crossing those lines will keep you going for more. Get hooked in short.

Hmm.. I think maybe you keep on failing to do what you want to do because you give yourself too much target (for example, reading 50 pages of the book in one go). Maybe try to set a lower target, like reading 5 pages, so you don't feel lazy to start. Just like the example of going to the gym. If you tell yourself, "tomorrow I'm going to run the treadmill for two hours", you will feel lazy about it already because it's two hours of gym. It's best if you set a lower target, like 3 pages of book reading (or in my example, 15 minutes of treadmill running). Then, when you've actually achieved the target, you will naturally feel like you can do more. And when you've done more than your target, you'll feel good about yourself, then you'll be more looking forward to it tomorrow. This is the trick i use on myself haha.. Hope it helps.

Hi seanlee, i just wanna tell you something, firstly you don't get depressed when you get failed, and more over its quite common in every ones life, when we are having exam, though we have some many chapters to learn , we do it just in a single day, we do it only in case of emergency , so compete your self with others and then you don't fail, you'll get that kind of mind to chase and stand first in what ever you do, and once you succeed what you are doing for then you just study for you self satisfaction, since you are already habituated that kind of reading so you don't get fail again, and you complete your work in time :-)

I have little self control too but I don't think that that is your problem. Based on what you wrote, I think your problem is more about procrastinating than self control. If you plan things for tomorrow but fail to accomplish it because you did not do it because you thought you just can't be bothered with it even though your really are not busy then that is procrastinating. If your problem is you are planning to do things but can't accomplish it because you just can't seem to do it even how hard you try then that is another thing. You are too hard on your self. Maybe that's the reason why you can't accomplish things, it's because you are too stressed out. Just breath and try to relax. Enjoy life.

You have to be realistic about your plans for tomorrow. First of all write down what you think you can accomplish during one day. Like you going to do laundry, while the washing machine is washing your laundry you can read 15 pages or 2 chapters in your book. When that is done you go for a walk for 30 minutes. You have a nice shower when you're back home. A good way to succeed with your goals for the day is to have small demands. Make plans for doing 3-4 things. It is better to accomplish a little with success than to fail over and over again. A good way write down what you have finished and completed. It brings you "a feeling good" about yourself.

My advice is short. You have to do everything you know but to be Step by Step. I think but this is best example for all improvings in life.
