Quotes to ponder:
"Ultimately you want to be accountable to yourself first and foremost, not to a buddy, team, company, organization, app, or external entity."
"I like holding myself accountable to my future self. I know that I’ll be my future self someday, so my loyalty is to him."
"No accountability buddy got me out of bed at 4:30 this morning. No one pushed me to run for an hour, then do yoga."
