 Hey You! Yes, You! I'm Doing This Because of YOU! |

Almost every day...I haven't got a CLUE about what I'm going to write about here! But...although most of the time it would be easier to not bother...something literally FORCES me to write! Well, two things, actually. They are: 1) The force of habit Because this blog is the last thing that I ALWAYS do before I turn my PC off at night...it feels, well, strange not to do it! It's not that I 'miss' it when I am travelling...but it is something that is almost essential to do when I am working at home. Because I have set aside a time for it (just before I turn my PC off)...and because I do it practically every day...I have built myself a little habit which certainly won't do me any harm in the future. Which leads me on to the second part...accountability. Look...I am as lazy as anyone else! lol If I don't have a very good reason...or a compelling desire to do something...then my subconscious will automatically find something more interesting for me to focus on! So...that's why I need some form of accountability built into what I do. And...that's where YOU come in! You see...when I first started this I announced to my ezine subscribers that I would write something at least five days a week. Of course...when life gets in the way (especially earlier in the year) that has not always been possible. But...the very fact that I am accountable to YOU to come up with something readable practically every day means that I make an extra special effort to actually DO it! So...there you have it....my simple 2-step for making sure that things get done. If you think about it...it's a lot easier to follow through on something when it's become a habit...and you're accountable in some way to someone else for its completion. It's simple...but it works! Try it and see for yourself.
