I want to use Sowilo for discipline when should i start and how many days should i continue?
Difference between Sowilo and Nauthiz
Sowilo is better for willpower since it represents fire, action, and energy. Nauthiz is better for discipline because it represents earth, stability, doing boring and necessary tasks.
Both are important for overall productivity because fire is like your battery capacity, and earth is the structure around the battery, which prevents it from being discharged too quickly (endurance), or on lazy/silly activities (discipline).
Sowilo will make you jump out of bed and get to work. Nauthiz will make you keep working even when you feel bored or tired. Both are useful here.
-------------
Example Working
For both Sowilo and Nauthiz, I have used a similar affirmation: "This energy of Nauthiz has now and permanently increased my ability to advance my Satanic career as fast as possible, in the best way for me." x10
In my head, I have defined my Satanic career as my spiritual advancement, my JOS duties, and my regular career, which will eventually facilitate Satanism in the future.
I have also used now and permanently to give me the benefits starting sooner, although still having a lasting effect.
For visualizing this, I see myself successfully doing the above activities more quickly. So for either Sowilo or Nauthiz, each rune will work in its own manner to help you, as programmed.
-------------
Dates and times
For Nauthiz, start on a Capricorn or other earth sign moon, on a waxing moon, on Saturday if possible, and during the hour of Saturn. Capricorn moons will be waning for some time, until July, so the next Taurus moons will work for this. For me, this would be March 6th.
For Sowilo, start on a Leo or other fire sign moon, on a waxing moon, on Sunday if possible, during the hour of the Sun. Aries, Tuesday, and the hour of Mars can also work, but I prefer the Sun since it is more lasting. On about March 13th, the Sun will be in Leo on Sunday, which would be a good time for this.
As far as how many days you should continue, you should do as much as you need until you are satisfied. This may take 40, 80, or 120 days. Since you are working on your productivity, however, this should be fine because it will make it easier for you to manage everything else, over time.

Useful Squares
Do not forget the power of planetary Squares, if you feel up to the challenge of doing them. With HPHC's recent thread and advice on them, they should be much easier for everyone.
There is one more good date to start a Mars Square, in March, which you should make use of. This is because Mars is in Capricorn, which means it is a very motivating, yet disciplined energy.
From Azazel's astrology we know this:
"In Capricorn [Mars]
The energies are channeled into the career and professional ambitions. They can start out small but end up in very high positions. Mars in Capricorn gives a methodical nature, along with plenty of perseverance and endurance. This placement can offset the scattered energies and lack of follow through of planets in mutable signs. There can be workaholic tendencies, along with a talent for business. Much effort can be put into attaining a position of status. Like Mars in Taurus, these people are focused on material and financial gain. They are efficient, practical, responsible, self-disciplined, and reliable. Like Mars in Virgo, they have very little patience with those who are shiftless and lazy. They can be cold, calculating, usurious, and selfish if the energies of this placement are not sublimated, or of other factors in the chart encourage this. There can be problems with the bones, skin and teeth."
Affirmation wise, I have used the same thing as with the runes:
"This Mars Square has permanently increased my ability to advance my total Satanic career as fast as possible, in the best way possible and harmoniously for me." x10

Additional Squares
Both the Sun and Mars will be back in Aries soon, which is another good sign for gaining raw energy. Just be aware that these planets in Aries can be wild, and need to be balanced with another working (Nauthiz) to become disciplined.
The Sun in Capricorn can also be used as a Square (in December). According to Azazel's Astrology, it seems fine, but I think Mars in Capricorn is definitely superior here because that is the exalted sign of Mars.
I hope this helps, and if anyone else has any good ideas here, please share.
