Accountability partner

Motivational Music
I know I need to build habits and not rely on willpower, but I often find music helps me to tip the motivational scale towards getting off the couch, or staying on the treadmill, etc. I tend to prefer upbeat, encouraging/self-empowering songs to give me the boost I need. Here are some of the songs that work for me. Never…
