Many of us entered 2022 with new goals and plans; and some renewed motivation to go after the results we want. But as “real life” kicks in, it gets more difficult to stick to our plan. Do you need some help sticking to your plan?
If you’re like many people, you may have already slipped up on some of them. Research suggests that approximately half of all Americans make New Year’s resolutions yet only 8% actually achieve them.
Resolutions are made with the best of intentions but are sometimes either too lofty to stick with or something has derailed your progress. The good news is that every day gives you a new chance to recommit to your goal and get back on track! The key is to remain accountable.
The Power of Accountability
When we commit to something publicly, we are much more likely to follow through. By sharing our goals, we are allowing people to ask about our progress or success in achieving them. While you are not completing your goal for anyone other than yourself, sharing helps to motivate you. When you feel good about your progress, you’ll want to share your success with those you’ve entrusted. When you don’t, sharing the barriers, challenges, and issues you may be facing that are keeping you from sticking to your plan might help you brainstorm solutions to overcome these obstacles. Adjustments in your activity, environment, mindset and schedule might all be strategies to help you stick to your plan.
Share your goals and plans with family, friends and others in your personal and professional network. Ask them to hold you accountable then ask them to share their goals with you too. You both will be surprised how much easier it is to succeed when you have the support of an Accountability Partner.
Our virtual productivity program, “It’s About Time” is built upon a foundation of accountability and support. Join us during the month of February as we focus on Accountability in Action. You’ll learn how accountability works as a productivity strategy, how to choose a partner to hold you accountable, how to structure the relationship, check-ins and much more.
