Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I keep doing just enough to clear the bar and then coasting, and it’s quietly become who I think I am
- I notice I only really put in the effort when someone’s watching or there’s credit in it, and the boring fundamentals slide
- I catch myself dressing up the same excuses again, and I’m done softening it
- The second something gets hard I find a reason to back off, and I’m tired of being that soft with myself
- My days kind of blur together and I drift, always with a reason why it didn’t go how I wanted

Crucial Accountability: Holding People to Commitments That Matter - Accountability Partners
An accountability partner is someone you regularly report progress to, which raises follow-through by adding a social cost to quitting and a felt obligation to show up.
