The Importance of Accountability

As Turbo Thinkers, we know what we need to do, but we just can’t always get ourselves to do it.

Self discipline doesn't work. Willpower doesn't work. Wishful thinking doesn't work. Nagging certainly doesn't work.

And so it begins, the cycle of disappointment. You tell yourself, “I SHOULD be able to do this! Everyone else can do this!” You can go down the road of blame and shame, comparing yourself to others and feeling incompetent. You hide. You stay busy doing other tasks (I reorganized the pantry!) or you take a nap in your unmade bed, or you “research” the topic further going down the google rabbit hole.

Asking for help can be hard because it starts with admitting that you can’t do it alone. You have SO MANY strengths and talents! It’s ok to be good at a few things...and unrealistic to expect yourself to be great at everything. Am I good at managing a budget? No. Is my financial advisor great at salsa dancing? I don’t think so. Ha!

In addition to asking for outside expertise, we can also find accountability partners. The ideal accountability partner understands how a Turbo thinking brain works. They appreciate the effort your particular task may take, without placing any judgement on your struggles. They are patient and believe in your capabilities. They support and encourage you. They may even work alongside you, in person or virtually. In addition to work and home tasks, find an accountability partner for health and wellness, to implement morning and evening routines, for maintaining relationships, for anything! 

Discover how much you can achieve with encouragement and understanding. When someone else sees all the amazing possibilities that lay ahead for you, you will begin to see them too. Together you make progress, you build a trail of success, and the momentum carries you forward. You both want to succeed. And indeed you will!
