Episode notes
Reframe What Accountability Means
- The word "accountability" often triggers shame because people associate it with blame rather than support.
- Marla suggests reframing accountability as supportive scaffolding you choose to build for yourself.
Strengthen Personal Accountability
- Reflect on friction points when personal accountability fails and identify what prevents you from acting.
- Try practical tweaks like noise-canceling headphones, internet blockers, scheduled breaks, or exercise to reduce those frictions.
Be Cautious With Public Promises
- Use public accountability selectively and avoid broadcasting plans if inconsistency may cause stress.
- Only share publicly when you feel confident it will boost motivation rather than create fear of failure.
