3 Simple Ways You Can Conquer Accountability

Are you struggling with reaching your goals? Is it hard to keep yourself on the right track so you get them done in a timely matter? Accountability is something we all need in our life, but it can be so hard to truly keep ourselves accountable.
With these three tips you can conquer accountability, and ultimately reach your goals faster:
1. Time Blocking
Time blocking is an amazing tool to help make sure you spend the right amount of time on any project. This helps make sure that you don’t lose balance in your life. Making sure to define how many hours a week you want to spend on a specific area of your life makes it so you don’t neglect a part of your business or life.
The idea of time blocking is to set up specific hours to work on one thing at a time. This increases focus, productivity, and you can see exactly where you are spending time, and what needs to be altered so you can reach your goals. The first thing you do when you want to start time blocking is tracking everything you are doing now.
This will show you how long you spend on each task, and how much time you need to spend a week to finish each task. It will also show how much you should plan for in the weeks coming up.
The next thing you need to think about in time blocking is the amount of time you spend eating, going to the bathroom, and all of the small stuff you don’t usually think about but still have to do during the day. Remember that it’s important to stop when your time is up, even if you haven’t finished what you are working on yet.
“The common man is not concerned about the passage of time, the man of talent is driven by it.” – Shoppenhauer
2. Talking about your goals, and time lines
It may seem like talking about your goals is self centered or rude, but the more you talk about your goals, the more you are reminded of them. The more you think about your goals, the more likely you are to make decisions based on those goals.
Talking about your goals also helps other people know where you’re going, and what you want in life. If those goals don’t line up with theirs, there is a good chance they will get irritated and not want to be in your life any more. This may seem like a bad thing but if someone’s goals don’t line up with yours, and they don’t want to stay in your life because they are hearing your goals, then there is a good chance they will drag you down.
The last and most important reason to talk about your goals is other people will instinctually keep you accountable. If everyone knows what you plan on doing, it is much harder to avoid actually working towards your goals.
Make sure to let the people that care about you know,because even if they don’t mean to, they will ask you how things are going, and what you are working on. This works to be a constant external reminder of your goals. As a case in point, talk it up, talk about time lines, big goals, small goals, and everything in-between.
3. Reward yourself
Rewards are such a big part of keeping yourself accountable. No one wants to work for nothing so give yourself small rewards to help you further your goals or simply give you the push to keep on going. If you pick rewards beforehand, there is a good chance the idea of that reward will drive you to hit your goals faster and be thinking about them more often.
Although rewards are amazing, you have to make sure to stay in budget, and it is a lot better to pick a reward that will ultimately help you in your goals. Picking something that helps you reach the next goal wont only make reaching your goals easier, it will also help create a good feeling when you do reach your goals, and you will associate good feelings with the subject of your goals.
Rewarding yourself can help relieve stress, and keep you moving toward your goals to ultimately make achieving each and every goal easier as you go along.
“Every project has challenges, and every project has its rewards.” – Stephen Schwartz
Accountability is something we could all use some more of in our lives, but remembering that accountability starts within is crucial. Following these three tips can help you keep yourself accountable, and jumpstart you to your goals. Are you ready to work toward your goals, and start on your path to massive success? If so, let’s start keeping ourselves accountable and reaching our goals.
