35. No One Can Do It for You


Listen Later

If you’ve ever struggled to get your writing done, you are not alone! One of the most common requests we get is for “accountability.” We hear things like, “I need you to hold my feet to the fire” and “I need you to set deadlines for me.” In this episode, Ariel & Liz talk all about when accountability works and when it doesn’t – including our experiences when we tried and failed to hold others accountable. We share our favorite tips for getting work done and using external motivators (like writing coaches, writing groups, retreats, etc.) to help you get work done and meet your writing goals.

Ultimately, though, NO ONE can hold you accountable except you.

The good news with accountability is that it’s a skill you can learn. You can always get better at keeping promises to yourself, and it helps to start early and start small.

Listen to the episode for all of our tips for strengthening your accountability muscles!
