Want an instant accountability partner?

Want an instant accountability partner?

You may have heard that having an accountability partner improves your odds of getting things done.

Perhaps you've even experienced it.

If not, here's a great way to try it out today.

Courtesy of Kevin Freidberg 's recent piece, Shatter Your Glass Castle.

Here's how it works (my paraphrase of Kevin's idea):

  1. Determine the work you need to do (e.g., a webpage, an email, a blog post).
  2. Email a friend and tell them you're going to send them a finished draft in 25 minutes.
  3. Do not wait for their response.
  4. Set your timer for 25 minutes.
  5. Do everything you can to write your best version of this draft.
  6. Hear the timer go off.
  7. Press send.

Boom. Instant accountability partner.

In Kevin we trust,

James

It surely works, James E. Turner. It works even better if you promise in that email to give that person $100 if you fail to deliver ??
