I used to really let myself get away with things, I'd always allow myself to make excuses. I still have that issue, but what helps me is having several short, medium, and long term goals.

I don't let myself experience joy until the "job" is done. The biggest problem with this on-off switch is I can only hold myself accountable for a few things because the resulting repression tends to overwhelm my ability to do other "jobs." ie I can get straight-As in school but I can't diet and I can get fit but I can't get much else done.

I'm also very single track. I can follow through on one goal with an almost fanatical dedication, but other things quickly fall by the wayside.

To truly take responsibility for everything I do in my life, I follow certain steps:
-
I make sure that what I'm doing is benefiting me in some way (whether it's improving my health, increasing my wealth, learning something new, or laughing, etc.).
-
I put myself in the mind of a child seeing this for the first time, amazed and excited.
-
By doing things with passion and joy, I finish them faster and therefore, I've taken responsibility for finishing what I started.
-
If something doesn't work out or goes wrong, in other words, I fail, I motivate myself to learn from it with a smile and move on.
Does that make sense?
I don't know, but since I've been doing it, it's worked for me, and everyone around me notices that something has changed for the better.

Otherwise, Lyn Alden-inspired mantra in my head: success is about showing up with intention and quality

That's a really good mantra. Honestly just showing up is sometimes the hardest part.
