Discipline describes the natural ability to generate order in your environment as a means to ensure productivity, accuracy and effectiveness.

You bring an unrelenting desire to see a high level of organization and order in your environment. You naturally take responsibility for ensuring that a system is in place that guarantees precise outcomes. You love ensuring that people then follow that system.

You create the necessary structure that ensures people know what to do in any given situation - you create the rules. You empower people to be great at what they do by preventing disorder from causing inefficiencies and complications. You build processes and generate the rules that, if followed, people can trust to deliver precise outcomes.

You find ways to organize yourself to get things done on time.

You tend to place yourself in productive environments.

You create order and structure where it is needed.

Some people may label you as compulsive or a control freak because of your ability to discipline yourself and structure your world. But these attributes make you productive — often more so than your critics.

Direct your energy to build structure and keep the right things organized.

Seek out roles and responsibilities where structure exists and is appreciated.

Don't hesitate to check as often as necessary to ensure that tasks and projects are completed in the right way and on time. You feel an urge to do it anyway, and soon enough others will begin to expect it of you.

Learn how to use a time-management system. It will make you even more efficient and give you more confidence.

Create routines that help you follow through systematically. Share your detailed lists of tasks, goals, and timelines with your colleagues. It will help the entire group become more efficient.

Help others add order to their lives. If you do it in a gentle and respectful way, and a useful way, they will appreciate it.

Recognize that not many people are as disciplined as you. More than likely, their clumsy or messy processes will frustrate you. Try to assess them on their results, not on their methods.

You are a neat freak and your constant desire for structure can sometimes be out of touch with a world that is naturally chaotic and disorganised. Knowing when structure is needed and when it is not will be key to your happiness.

Watch out for: Feeling that rules and structure apply in all things. You can choke the life out of something that way.

When is chaos a good thing?
