How I Replaced My Accountability Partner With an AI (Don't Tell Bob)

May 21 • Wins!

After reviewing my pitiful first half of 2025 (where I hit only the base line of my targets), I needed something more reliable than Bob who kept saying "you're doing great" when I clearly wasn't.

Monday I had to Admitted My Goal-Setting Was a Dumpster Fire

I spent 3 days plugging numbers into spreadsheets, crying into coffee, and finally admitted: I need structure that doesn't require 17 different planners and apps.

So I created a one-page Accountability Goal Chart" (fancy name for "please help me stop procrastinating"). Then I asked CHAD to keep me honest.

What CHAD did differently than Bob:

Weekly Action Items - Instead of vague "write more" goals, CHAD forced me to list EXACT tasks for each week across three categories
Monthly Metrics & Goals - CHAD doesn't accept "I tried" - he demands NUMBERS (New clients: Target 1, Actual 0, Analysis: "You spent too much time watching cat videos")
Monthly Reflection - The digital equivalent of "look me in the eyes and tell me why you failed" but without the awkward eye contact
Quarterly Progress Tracking - Where my excuses go to die in percentage form

The Magic Is in the Boring Stuff

The most game-changing part? The weekly accountability checklist. Not sexy, not exciting, just a simple "did you actually do the damn work?" reality check sitting on my desk JUDGING ME.

Question: Anyone else keep a physical accountability sheet rather than a digital one? And be honest - do you actually look at it daily or just when guilt overwhelms you? 👀
