How does Jordan Peterson say to discipline yourself?

Peterson's core advice across the clips is to compare yourself with who you were yesterday, set goals small enough that you can actually reach them, and improve a little each day so it compounds. He says meaning comes from taking on responsibility, starting with yourself, then your family, then your community, and that the first step can be as small as making your bed.
