The other day, I heard an interesting concept.
Someone who just finished an Iron Man race was asked about his high standards and how he maintains them.
He replied, “I use layered accountability. That way, when one doesn’t work, I have a backup.”
Like having a workout buddy AND signing up for a 5K. When one can’t motivate you, the other will.
Or talking to your kids about a family goal AND booking it ahead.
By adding multiple layers, you guarantee that you’ll follow through on your intentions. And that’s what progress is all about.
Another great way to keep yourself accountable is through tracking. Use visuals, like in the images below, or try the Free Commitment Card Printable or Habit Tracker pdf. Then, watch your confidence and results grow.
