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 friend-of-the-list 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’ll send 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, P.S. I totally emailed Kevin before starting to write this. I’m happy to report I’ve got 16 minutes left until I have to email it to him. And that’s more than enough time to pop it into Hemingway for a spruce up and then set it up and send it via ConvertKit. |
