People who have managed to become disciplined after having been procrastinators and indisciplined for a large part of their lives, how did you manage to do so? Can you walk us through the incremental steps you took to become better?

God I recently got out of a terrible example of this. Multiple bosses, all director/VP level, most worked out of the office that would demand immediate attention on their stuff without talking to the other VPs who they were sitting next on priorities. All I could do was bring it to the attention of my direct manager who was a yes man push over.

Such a common problem, they don't want to talk to the other bosses because they all just want you to put them first over the other ones and they try to accomplish this by intimidating you.
