1 month checkup time – how’s it going? I’ve gone through the book and the tasks once before and it was great, but I let things slip…now going through it the 2nd time I see why that’s recommended.

Thanks for the links, Simon – hugely helpful :)

To Simon: Perhaps – I’m just not so sure that that necessarily works. :-)

@Douglas: I guess it’s less about making one accountable and rather making one’s intention public, and in doing so creates more personal energy in achieving the goal set.

It’s an interesting thought. My only question would be – how exactly do you hold someone accountable via a blog? It would be interesting to see whether doing so actually works or whether people lie about progress or just ignore the people holding them accountable. Have the fat blogs worked?

Ahhh… I know the feeling!
And I have the book, which I read about two years ago, got excited by it, thought he was SO smart – and then promptly forgot about it!
I’ve heard that people actually re-read the book two or three times, and then the effects can really be seen. After all, he does make a lot of sense.
BTW, he has quite a cool and useful web presence too, to help you on you way.
Good luck (to you and me) and thanks for reminding me that I already have the handbook on how to simplify life :-)
