Finding an accountability partner is a great productivity tool. Although there are always natural consequences when things don't get done, sometimes we just take the easy way out. But for really important tasks, I will set up a consequence for myself if I don't get it done. Usually I'll put together a to-do list including work tasks and things like meditation or a walk. Don't forget to celebrate your accomplishments and allow for "relaxing time" in your schedule; pencil it in just like any other appointment.

Although there are always natural consequences when things don’t get done, sometimes we just take the easy way out. But for really important tasks, I will set up a consequence for myself if I don’t get it done. Usually I’ll put together a to-do list including work tasks and things like meditation or a walk.

Don’t forget to celebrate your accomplishments and allow for “relaxing time” in your schedule; pencil it in just like any other appointment.
