Two things I constantly find myself being frustrated in others for not having and/or showing are accountability and responsibility.

However, having read through a number of good blogs (see links on right) I’m reminded that often what we annoys us in others is what annoys us about ourselves (but we are not able to admit to).

So, here’s to making myself accountable and taking responsibility for myself.

Combining this with some other useful advice from Christine, I’ve started a book to record every day something I have done to move my objectives forward. I’m accountable to writing in it every day and I’m responsible for choosing something which genuinely moves my goals forwards.

To go with this I’ve a to do list that I carry with me everywhere and write every idea in and then pick out those that move me forward to be my ‘micro-goal of the day’.

There is one rule that I set myself however before this started. That if I ever got to the end of the day and had not managed to complete a task, that I would forgive myself and use the learning cycle to reflect, conclude and plan for how I would do better next time.

So far, so good.
