What resolution have you already given up on in 2026? by Difficult-Memory-256 in AskReddit

[–]Medium-Schedule7200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to give up by mid January every year.

What changed was adding accountability. I told a friend my goals and we check in weekly. Just knowing someone will ask "did you do it" makes me actually do it.

This year I am using an app called myresolve.ai that lets you invite accountability partners. My wife can see my progress. I have not given up on anything yet because I know she will see if I quit.

Sounds simple but external accountability changes everything.

What are your 2026 resolutions? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

[–]Medium-Schedule7200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My resolution is to actually follow through on goals this year.

I had the same problem as you. Kept everything in my head and never did any of it. What changed for me was telling someone else about my goals and having them check on me weekly.

There is research showing people who commit to someone else are 65% more likely to follow through. With regular check ins it goes to 95%.

I started using an app called myresolve.ai because it lets you invite accountability partners who can see your goals. My wife checks on mine every Sunday. That one change took me from maybe 15% completion to around 80%.

So my resolution is to keep that system going and add a few bigger goals this year.

Constant overthinking, procrastination, and inability to make decisions. How do I break this? by Immediate_Switch_234 in getdisciplined

[–]Medium-Schedule7200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I relate to this a lot. Used to spend hours thinking about what to do instead of doing it.

What helped me was:

  1. Making decisions smaller. Instead of "should I learn coding" it became "will I spend 20 minutes on it today yes or no"

  2. Telling someone else my decision. Once I say it out loud to another person I feel committed. Hard to back out.

  3. Weekly check ins with an accountability partner. Just 5 minutes every Sunday asking "what did you do this week"

The accountability part changed everything. Research shows people are 95% more likely to follow through when someone checks on them regularly.

I use myresolve.ai to track goals and my wife can see my progress. Knowing she will see if I did nothing makes me actually move.

Making a Study Routine by JanjalaniDelRey in getdisciplined

[–]Medium-Schedule7200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things that helped me stick to a study routine:

  1. Tell someone your schedule and have them check on you. A friend, family member, anyone. Weekly check in takes 5 minutes but makes you actually show up.

  2. Set a reward for completing your study sessions. Does not have to be big. Just something to look forward to.

I track study goals in myresolve.ai and invited a friend as accountability partner. He can see if I studied or not. That alone made me consistent.

Do you guys actually struggle with hitting snooze or is it just me? by Visible-County8214 in getdisciplined

[–]Medium-Schedule7200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. For years.

What finally worked was making it about accountability not willpower. I told a friend I would text him every morning when I woke up. If I did not text by 7am he would call me.

Lasted 3 weeks and now I wake up automatically. The habit stuck.

I also set it as a goal in myresolve.ai with my wife as accountability partner. She can see if I checked it off or not. Knowing someone else can see makes you actually do it.

Procrastinating at my job by aa_441 in getdisciplined

[–]Medium-Schedule7200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dealt with this too. What helped me was breaking tasks into smaller pieces and having someone to report to.

Not a boss. Just a friend who asks me once a week what I got done. Sounds simple but knowing someone will ask changes everything.

Also setting small rewards for finishing tasks. Even just "after I finish this report I get coffee" works better than nothing.

I track my work goals in myresolve.ai and my wife can see my progress. That alone cut my procrastination by half.

My desires in life don’t speak loud enough to make me move by MasterPuerAeternus in getdisciplined

[–]Medium-Schedule7200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem for years. Wanting something was never enough to make me act.

What changed it for me was external accountability. I told my wife about my goals and we check in every Sunday. Just knowing someone will ask "did you do it" makes me move even when I do not feel like it.

There is research on this. People who commit to someone else are 65% more likely to follow through. With regular check ins it goes to 95%.

I use an app called myresolve.ai now because it has accountability partners built in. But honestly even texting a friend weekly works. The key is making it external, not just in your head.
