Previously, I wrote the essay Cut toxic people out of your life and replace them with edifying achievers who inspire you.
Develop list of negative/neutral/positive people in my life. Limit the amount time spent with negative people and neutral people. Increase the time to positive/achieving/godly people. Video on this topic is at: Show Me Your Friends and I Will Show You Your Future
- - Goal, action commitments, and weekly reporting study - People with written goals, action commitments and weekly progress reports to a friend saw a 80.95% improvement over control group which had no written goals, no action commitments and no weekly progress reports
Conclusions:
1. The positive effect of accountability was supported: those who sent weekly progress reports to their friend accomplished significantly more than those who had unwritten goals, wrote their goals, formulated action commitments or sent those action commitments to a friend.
2. There was support for the role of public commitment: those who sent their commitments to a friend accomplished significantly more than those who wrote action commitments or did not write their goals.
3. The positive effect of written goals was supported: Those who wrote their goals accomplished significantly more than those who did not write their goals.
