Accountability partners are a good idea.  

It helps keep focus to know you’ll have someone to answer to if you don’t do what you committed to, especially when things get tough for one reason or another.  Inevitably they do get tough, if you’re working on something intense or consequential.

Preemptive embarrassment is another great method.  It’s simple…publicly declare what you’re planning to do!  That creates some positive social pressure to do it, when you have a truly awful day, or you’re tired, or it gets late and you haven’t done the thing you planned to yet.

You’ll have guessed already that that’s what happened to me today.

Yet I made this public commitment to write and publish something, hopefully something useful, every day for 100 days as part of my 100 Day Plan.  I have enjoyed doing it and I intend to finish what I started.  Even on days like today.

So thank you for being my accountability partners via preemptive embarrassment!

I appreciate it.  And I appreciate the kind comments and feedback I have gotten over these first 20 days.
