    Hi Jordan. Welcome back.

    What are you going to do this time to make sure you’re more successful? Do you have a plan in place? What’s different this time?

    I would humbly suggest that checking in every day is a lot more effective than once a week, too.

    Hello, and welcome, Jordan!

    Springlering upthread has some good questions/comments.

    I want to add, though, that I think you already have a key piece of a good plan in place: It sounds like you've realized that accountability to yourself is a Big Deal.

    It can be super helpful IMO to interact with others here or in real life to get ideas, support, etc. But we see posts here often from people saying that they need an "accountability buddy" or someone to be accountable to. I think you've got it right: Accountability is mostly a solo sport.

    Other people can be great helpers in a variety of ways, absolutely. But if we don't sincerely commit in our own mind, and stay accountable to ourselves for taking the steps toward our goals, it's not going to happen.

    I'm cheering for you to succeed: IME, the results are more than worth the effort!

    Welcome back! I too, have done this before and needed to return. Thankfully, the process works. Patience is key. So is consistency. And discipline. It's frustrating to remember the work I put in, and then rather than adhering to new habits, allowing life to creep in and create a return to old ones. We can do it. We know how. It's time to pick up and dust off :)
