Chapter 17. How an Accountability Partner Can Change Everything

Habit contract - bad habit을 하면 벌금을 내는 방식으로 나쁜 습관을 고칠수 있다.

내 행동에 대해 immediate pain을 주면 안하게 된다.

An accountability partner can create an immediate cost to inaction. We care deeply about what others think of us, and we do not want others to have a lesser opinion of us.
Knowing that someone else is watching you can be a powerful motivator.
