Default Accountability partners!

I'm sure at least some of you have thought about this. It's a really good idea my church had a while back, maybe one of the few good ideas they had.

I think it would work very well here. The monthly challenge threads are great, but it seems like one-on-one interaction would be more compelling, especially with harder goals. Two people would discuss goals through PM, and then prepare to be ashamed if they don't follow through with them. They could discuss them every day, every other day, or just every week, depending on the people.

What do you think?

Well, it doesn't look like many people are jumping at the sound of "Accountability Partners!". lol. Well, if anyone is interested it could still work.

I think it is a good idea.

And I do think that people will show interest when they find someone who is looking for change in the same area as themselves.

Sounds like a good idea! I'm down for it.

Should we make a list of all the people who want to participate?

Sure, we can make a list.

I linked to this thread in the January challenge thread, so if anyone is interested they can see it.

So far, we have:

The David

Leki

For those of you who haven't posted in the January thread, we can discuss here what we are trying to accomplish and pick a partner accordingly.
