Is this possibly the most hardcore article discussing self-discipline on the Chinese internet? The author uses mathematical modeling and the future value function X discount weight to explain our tendencies when making choices, presenting some interesting viewpoints:

"
In this article, the core idea I want to convey is that the issue of self-control may not only be a psychological or physiological problem, but perhaps it can also be an engineering problem that can be solved using mathematics and physics. Based on the above concept, there exists the possibility that a person can exert lasting and profound constraints on their behavior through a few abstract and ingenious thought experiments, even in the absence of deadlines, environmental constraints, or any external supervision, and even change the long-term steady state of their entire life to some extent.
"

For someone like me:
1. Lack of self-discipline
2. Severe procrastination
3. Startup Barriers
4. Lack of focus leads to extremely divergent thinking.
5. Poor working memory
may be helpful.
