  2. Tell a friend or co-worker about your goal. Ask if you can call him or her on the date you plan to have achieved your goal.
  3. Set aside the time in your calendar to complete the tasks that make up your goal.
  4. Use Outlook (or your preferred electronic calendar) as a reminder for ongoing accountability. Set a daily reminder. Ask for specific information so that you can track your progress.
