Lucy Meggeson's "Shiny Happy Singles" (or "Thrive Solo" in the US and Canada) challenges societal norms surrounding marriage and parenthood. It celebrates the single, child-free life, exploring various aspects such as solitude, finances, relationships, and mindset. The book features interviews with other women sharing their experiences, offering relatable stories and practical advice. Meggeson aims to empower readers to embrace their chosen path, proving that happiness doesn't require a partner or children. The book provides a supportive and validating perspective for those who choose a different life path.
On today’s Monday Motivation, Polly and I are talking about routines and accountability.
The science shows that when we get accountability in place, we are 96% more likely to do the goddam thing. NINETY SIX PERCENT!!! 🤯
In this conversation, Polly and I share a little about our own experiences of accountability, including how I’ve had - for several years now - an accountability buddy who I phone (or who phones me!) every morning at 5am. Without that, I would likely never have got into the habit of getting up early and cultivating a morning routine.
Polly talks about how she used accountability when she ran a marathon; she also talks about how we can use self-accountability as a way of implementing a new routine into our lives.
We also talk a bit about habit stacking, and how this can be a great way of getting daily routines in place.
We really hope that you’ll find something useful in here!
