I don't want the content of this post to serve as a rationalization for people who don't introspect or formulate and stick to plans enough.
ETA: I rephrased the note so that it depends not only on the person, but the domain of application: someone can be disciplined in one area and not another. I don't know if you meant to draw my attention to that, but you did cause me to think about it, so thanks!
I hadn't thought of it that way, but it satisfies what produced my concern! Mostly for my own sake, not any request of you, here's an expanded take on your rephrasing:
You can't change a habit if it's not really a habit, and you can't evaluate alternatives if you haven't evaluated the default. Don't apply this post's advice if either condition applies to habits in a domain, or if they are very difficult for you to reapply.
