Your discipline is your résumé. People trust leaders who do what they said they’d do to themselves too.

Keeping promises to yourself is the private version of keeping them to other people, and the private one is harder because there is no witness. That is why it reads so strongly to anyone paying attention. Someone who gets up when they said they would has already demonstrated the thing nobody can check on a form. The rest is the same habit pointing outward.

Pick one small commitment you keep breaking with yourself and shrink it until you can keep it. Ten minutes, not an hour. Do it for a week before you tell anyone, because the point is the record, not the size.
