Continuing with the theme of “commitment devices,” it usually a good idea to find ways to make yourself accountable to someone else. Whether that person be your boss, your husband or wife, your parents, or someone else important in your life, give them a stake in your success. Keep them abreast of your decisions; and encourage them to push you harder when you need it.
This can work especially well with your spouse, if you explain to him how achieving your goal will help the entire family. If he understands this, then he will also do whatever he can to ensure that you are successful in your endeavors, too (otherwise, he, too, will lose out).
