Strict in self-discipline means holding in awe and veneration, being diligent in self-examination and strictly abiding by Party discipline and state laws.

Earnest in making plans means basing plans on reality, so that ideas, policies and programs are appropriate to actual conditions, accord with objective laws and the scientific spirit, and are neither overly ambitious nor detached from reality.
