...for the sake of accountability. You all know how much I loooooove accountability. Actually, I do love healthy accountability. But I've seen an awful lot of unhealthy people "holding each other accountable" and even been one of those people.
How do you know if you're being held accountable in a healthy way? Well, the health of an accountability relationship is inversely proportional to the number of times the word "accountability" is used in the context of that relationship. The healthiest accountability partners don't usually even know they are your accountability partners. However, if someone calls you up to schedule an accountability meeting (and refers to it as such), you should decline and offer them the number of your favorite licensed professional counselor.
"Hold you accountable..." hm, I think that phrase needs to go into some lyrics somewhere...
Speaking of songs and lyrics...(and excessive ellipses...)
I just finished recording a VERY wonky scratch vocal for a heart breaking ballad. Nothing like a heart breaking ballad with a wonky vocal. It turns heartbreak hilarious, and I LOVE hilarious things.
So this is only the third song. I know, I know. I said on Sunday that I was going to record three scratch vocals on Monday, which would have made this the fifth song. Well, I only did one on Monday. I guess I have to be held accountable now. Here's a little secret about me: I'm super ambitious before it comes to actually doing something. Then I record one verse of a song and one chorus and then I need to take a little break for 9 hours or so and then there's no more time in the day to record the other two songs I meant to record. So see, it's not my fault. It's because the day is not long enough to contain my doing stuff time and my recuperation time.
So I only did 33.3% of what I set out to do on Monday. But guess how much I had planned to do today. NOTHING. And now I've done something, which is infinite% more than what I had planned to do. So I think that more than balances out.

Even if you didn't accomplish ALL that you set out to do, you may have accomplished more due to implied or direct accountability than you would have otherwise, and that is progress! A pearl is not created in one maddening rush, but layer upon minuscule layer, every layer bringing it that much closer to the awe and admiration of the world.
