Want an instant accountability partner?

You may have heard that having an accountability partner improves your odds of getting things done.

Perhaps you've even experienced it.

If not, here's a great way to try it out today.

Here's how it works (my paraphrase of Kevin's idea):

1. Determine the work you need to do (e.g., a webpage, an email, a blog post).

2. Email a friend and tell them you're going to send them a finished draft in 25 minutes.

3. Do not wait for their response.

4. Set your timer for 25 minutes.

5. Do everything you can to write your best version of this draft.

6. Hear the timer go off.

7. Press send.

Boom. Instant accountability partner.

In Kevin we trust,

James
