As the work gets more difficult, so does the act of holding yourself accountable.
I like to think that each day we have a meter filled with willpower and throughout the day it drains. Once the work gets larger, the willpower depletes more quickly, and the first sign of a near-empty meter is a lack of self-accountability.
A quick safe-guard you can put in place is to have someone else hold you accountable… but without them knowing it. Set up a meeting to have someone smart review the work that you’ve put off. Sometimes you need that added layer of disappointing a friend to get you working.
Stay Positive & Keeping Trust Keeps Us All Moving Forward
