Great article - inspired me to turn on the daily time limit to Instagram to see how much time I’m wasting on there looking at other people’s creativity instead of investing in my own. Find the tools to keep yourself accountable whether they are internal or external.

"Being accountable can be a bear. I’m confident I learned the meaning of that word while not delivering on the meaning of that word. It might as well be a four letter word with its versatility and weight. It’s a noun, a verb, an adjective...an albatross." This in particular hit me in a few ways:

1) Sometimes we need to fail to be successful. You learned about accountability by not being accountable.

2) The weight of being accountable to one's self is halved when you bring someone in on it.

3) The word bear, as it reminds me, I have not done my Bear Mile yet. Who will hold me accountable to it this month? Better yet: who will join me?
