I Desperately Need an Accountability Partner

This isn't so much an informative blog post as it is a plea for help. My life once again mirrors the not so nice elements of this post: endless TV, living off my tax-refund; the whole nine yards. I need a work-partner of sorts. I have rediscovered that when there is noone I am directly accountable to, I don't work.

You may be wondering how this whole accountability partner system works. Well it's really quite simple. Throughout the day the partners check in with each other at set times to discuss their respective work tasks and their progress towards completing them. These check-ins can occur in person, over the phone, via SMS, or instant messaging. The important thing is that both people are actively trying to use the system - if it's clear that one partner isn't working on their tasks or isn't motivated to check-in, it all falls apart.

Do you need an accountability partner in your life? If so, please contact me ASAP.
