Resolutions accountability group

6 posts in this topic

Posted (edited)

Hi everyone!

In my own experience I have set goals and made resolutions many times, but it was always when I did them in a group setting that I managed to stay consistent and achieve what I wanted, therefore I would like to start an Actualized.org Forum accountability group for all of you who have recently set up goals for the new year. The dynamic will be as follows:

  • Select only your most important/meaningful/challenging 2025 resolution (only one! this is important, as more may overwhelm you). It will be allowed to add a 2nd goal
  • Make a first post sharing here what it is, be specific (eg. bike every day to work; regularize my eating times by having dinner every day at 19:00; meditate 20 minutes every morning; call my parents every Sunday to catch-up; or something similar)
  • In your first post also explain how often you will be reporting your progress in this group, whether or not you will allow yourself exceptions, and what evidence you will show. In other words, the idea is that you keep a streak, so you'll have to specify the frequency, what events would grant you a "streak freeze" (eg. being sick), and as evidence you may for example decide to share a picture or screenshot of something, a chart, or just say you'll rely on your own honesty to report that you did it.
  • Report in this thread as often as you commit to, making sure to include your streak. If you miss an instance, re-start your streak.
  • Please refrain from posting anything other than your progress updates, including replies to others. If you really want to make an additional comment, include it at the bottom of your update post, tagging people if necessary.
  • Adding a 2nd goal to this accountability group will only be allowed once you reach 3 months of a consistent streak (if you're reporting daily this would be somewhere around a 90 day streak, if you're reporting weekly it will be a 12 week streak, and so on)

See my first post below as an example (try to use a similar format). If you have any questions, it would be better to PM me to avoid cluttering this thread.

Good luck everyone, and may we all reach our goals!

Daily completing my evening routine on time

THE GOAL
I have quite a specific evening routine for every day of the week. I am pretty good at going through it, but more often than not I'll start and end late with it, which results in me going late to bed, which in turn makes me lose sleep, or wake up late. My goal is to go through all the tasks on my evening routine every day of the week on time, ie. start and end on time.

REPORTING FREQUENCY
I will be reporting on a daily basis.

EVIDENCE
I'll post here every eveing before 22:30, which is my sleep time.

EXCEPTIONS
The only exceptions I will allow is if there are evening events that truly don't allow me to go through the routine on time, eg. a late work-related dinner; a travel schedule; an important family reunion.
