Why I Venmo'd Sean $2 at 5am

In a previous post I said starting a new habit is easier than you think. I talked about a helpful 30-day activity tracker I use when starting a new habit. I linked to the tool in that post, check it out the original post here.

Sean got $2 of my hard earned dollars because I haven't looked at my tracker for 4 days. Originally I said I'd pay him $0.50 per day for every day from 12/1 to whatever date that I didn't start using the tool. (Ask

@Sean Richard

why I chose 50 cents in the comments if you wanna hear a rant 😂)

I started using the tracker on time, used it for 2 days then stopped for 4 days. I'm holding myself accountable to the $0.50 per day punishment.

Look, it's not about the $2. We're good here at the Raven household, $2 isn't causing big pain. It's the public declaration and accountability

The brutal truth? I get the tracker out when I'm off track on SEVERAL habits, not just when I'm starting a new one. I should be using it every month so I don't constantly have to restart. Stupid.

@Tyler Bonney

you seem super disciplined, do you have any tips to help us squirrels?
