Seek encouragement and accountability for yourself. It may be easy for you to simply “do the work required” but it’s undoubtedly easier not to. It is one thing for your initial commitment to be strong, but how you behave at that inevitable point when you just don’t feel like (and refuse) making the effort necessary matters quite a bit. Will the tyranny of office distractions prevail and steal your future ideal life from you?  Even with a plan in-place designed to get you refocused and reenergized, nothing will ever replace the personal accountability provided by an individual, worthy of your trust, who truly understands and cares about your success reminding you of your commitments to yourself and revisiting your faithfulness to your goals whenever you fail to “make the effort.”  My experience is that a skilled, experienced, paid coach is the best option here. Someone who “has your back” and vows to help you shore-up your deficiencies. A coach who is competent, objective and is trained not to allow excuses slip by without serious discussion.
