I have a problem with accountability, or maybe I'm talking about something else.
1) I have no social shame/accountability (zero feels) as to whether I finish 95% of stuff I talk about. That's coz...
2) I only care about the remaining 5%. That's the stuff I care about.
3) But, I often get wrapped into those 95% if I feel pressured or I'm looking for validation. I get into setting goals that are unrealistic for me or interfere with my lifestyle or values. I don't think those things through. Hence I don't care later if I don't go through. Example: 365 approach challenge. Did not think it through at all. My circumstances are against me and I do not like to sail against the wind when I can do stuff that benefits me more.
4) The 5% of stuff I do care about I try to talk as little as possible. I like getting feedback, but I don't like how demotivated it makes me feel. Everytime I slip and tell someone an update on my stuff, it's like my drive is leaking like a car's gas.
It's not a problem for me. I lean towards not telling people than telling them due to 4), as well as having experienced 3) hundreds of times. That being said, I do strive to lean a little more towards sharing in the context of 5% that matters, however it's a delicate issue for me and I err on the side of not telling due to 4).
Again, I have been recommended social accountability multiple times in my life by people who had almost exact opposite experience than I. I don't understand why am I wired this way, but I am. I am fine with it.
Cheers.
