Create a habit contract with yourself for accountability from "summary" of Atomic Habits (Malayalam) by James Clear
One way to increase the likelihood of sticking to your habits is to create a habit contract with yourself. This involves making a written agreement with yourself that outlines the habit you want to build and the consequences if you do not follow through. By putting your commitment in writing, you are more likely to hold yourself accountable. When creating a habit contract, it is important to be specific about the habit you want to form and the actions you need to take to achieve it. For example, if you want to exercise more, your contract could include details such as the days and times you will work out, the type of exercise you will do, and how long each session will be. In addition to outlining the habit itself, your contract should also include the consequences of not following through. This could be something as simple as donating money to a charity you dislike or having to perform an unpleasant task. By clearly spelling out the repercussions of not sticking to your habit, you will be more motivated to stay on track. To further increase your chances of success, you can also involve others in your habit contract. This could mean sharing your contract with a friend or family member who can help hold you accountable, or even signing the contract in front of witnesses. By making your commitment public, you are adding an extra layer of accountability to the process.- Creating a habit contract with yourself can be a powerful tool for building new habits and breaking old ones. By clearly outlining your goals, actions, and consequences, you are more likely to stay on track and achieve the results you desire. So take the time to write out your contract and commit to holding yourself accountable – your future self will thank you for it.
