In this episode of the 'MyBestSelf' podcast, hosted by Megan McCrory, the focus is on empowering goals through accountability and action.
Megan discusses overcoming common obstacles like distractions and procrastination. Drawing from Gretchen Rubin's book 'The Four Tendencies', she explores different personality types - Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels - and how they respond to external and internal expectations.
She highlights the importance of understanding one's own tendencies to develop effective strategies toward achieving goals. Megan cites a study from Dominican University of California arguing that writing down goals and maintaining accountability through progress reports greatly enhances goal attainment.
She suggests steps such as breaking down goals into smaller tasks, tracking progress, and celebrating successes. She also emphasizes the significance of having an accountability coach or partner.
