Tools and Tech to Keep Yourself Accountable
Even the most motivated among us benefit from structure + reminders. Here’s how to outsource some of that accountability.
We rely on willpower, which is a limited resource, especially for tired/stressed entrepreneurs.
- Habit trackers: Visually seeing your streak builds momentum, even for things like “no-spend days” for business finances.
- Time tracking tools: Reveals where your time actually goes, so you can stop fooling yourself about how productive you are.
- Project management boards: Trello, Asana, etc., for keeping even solo projects moving forward step-by-step.
- Sharing your calendar: Having your work blocked out with someone else helps prevent flaking on yourself.
- Focus apps: Block distracting sites/apps during work sprints, your future self will thank you.
- Automate reminders: For bills, following up on leads…taking those small tasks off your plate frees up mental space.
