Do you hold yourself accountable for the events that take place in your life? It's always easy to accept praise for your accomplishments but what about your failures? because lets face it, in life we ALL fail at one point or another.
I recently started this business less than 6 months ago and I can honestly admit that I could be working a lot harder. I have not been holding myself accountable and that is why I am writing this blog today!
Going forward I WILL put 100% dedication into my dream; no more excuses; no more days "off"!
I found some of these tools to be helpful in holding myself accountable and I wanted to share them with all of you!
1- To Do Lists
Make a daily "to do" list and stick to it. I find that time slips away much slower when I have (and STICK) to my daily list(s). I have check lists made on Microsoft Word and I print them off so that I can add/check off things as I go. This also helps me stay organized.
2- Set Alarms
For me setting an alarm is crucial when staying on task. Alarms help remind me to not spend too much time trying to complete a task. They also help with time management and getting into a daily routine.
3- Meal Prep 
Meal prepping is essential for time management. Sundays tend to be a popular day to prep. I however like to do my cleaning and grocery shopping on Sundays then I meal prep on Monday. Don't spend too much time at the grocery store- make a list!
4- Schedule Your Workout
I like to workout first thing in the morning. The longer I procrastinate the more likely I am to skip my workout. A 30 minute workout is 2% of your day; make it happen! I set alarms for both my morning and afternoon workouts.
5- Set A Bedtime
Give yourself a bedtime and stick to it! Getting a full 6-8 hours of sleep is very important for your mind and body. I find it difficult to get a solid 6-8 hours because I have a newborn so I have to schedule naps into my day.
6- Personal Development
I slack the MOST on this and ironically it is the most important thing on this list! Taking time for yourself is KEY in becoming successful. Reading personal development books help me get in touch with my soul. I can connect to the pieces of myself that I thought were lost with being a mom, student, partner, and much more. Don't get lost in other people's lives and forget to take care of yourself.
7- Join A Support Group/ Tell Someone Your Goals
Making a declaration that you are going to accomplish something (achieve a goal) helps with keeping yourself accountable. When other people are aware that you are working on yourself or need support that are more inclined to help you stay motivated and call you out when you are slacking or falling short.
I run monthly challenge groups so if you need someone to help you stay accountable for your goal(s)
