Accountability

I am not writing about accounting, I am referring to being accountable to yourself. I have a few clients who report their actions to me during our sessions. A personal trainer is the same, we all need someone we can rely on to be honest, and give feedback to.

So being accountable for our actions, if we say we are doing something and it doesn't happen what does this mean? Well simply it just says to me that it wasn't important enough to them to make it happen. If it becomes imperative then it gains momentum, it is prioritised and action is assurred.

Does this sound familiar? I too have issues with this and today decided to 'track' my tasks and report to my business partner on a weekly basis, this way I stay on top of my game and my priorities are always close by, as we do tend to forget things and can only do so much in the day.

If you find yourself going in circles and all you do is the fun stuff and avoid things like: arranging your desk, files, tax, finances or even your wardrobe to declutter. (some may find this fun!) then join the club. You need to be organised and have someone you can be accountable to. It is amazing what we tend to avoid if we do not address it, and how we tend to bury stuff that is really important for our security and well being.

I am now inspired, so will tackle my desk and do a general tidy up.
