When we have no one bossing us or parents telling us what to do, we tend to lose discipline and accountability to do the things we know we should so but fail to do

1. While growing up you have your parents, teachers and other sorts of authorities to keep you
accountable and to urge you to do things well and on a timely manner.
Someone was telling you to wake up, to have breakfast, to go to school, to do your tasks at
home and homework. To turn off the TV or the stereo, to clean up your room.
Teachers were telling you what to study, what projects to work on and when to present them.
So a big part of our lives we had accountability partners or someone “parenting” you.
Than adulthood and we start our professional career. Once again - even if you’re a manager
- you have a supervisor and defined objectives, timelines, tasks that someone is checking.
But at home (or if you’re self-employed) no one’s checking on you. You can do as you
please. So some habits may settle in as not pushing yourself just because it feels
comfortable. Like a balanced lifestyle with healthy food, sports, activities.
If your boss tells you to do a or b you’ll do it. Because there’s someone to push you.
You need to be your own “parent” or accountability partner in your private life in order to keep
you disciplined, organized and treating yourself right.
You need to parent yourself
