Accountability stems from a dynamic strategy – a smart plan – which is the first step for getting something done.
The most important task that everyone must undertake when it comes to being an accountable professional is setting your goals. Decide what you want to accomplish and devise a plan to attain your desired results. Make sure you check these boxes to step up your game in becoming an accountable person:
Coming up with a strategy to execute a certain task is also important when people are working as a team. It keeps everyone on the same page and working towards a shared goal.
When you are planning to accomplish a certain task, it is important that you understand that some tasks are more important and urgent than the others. When you are burdened under a mountain of work, every task feels important, and you end up doing the least significant things while ignoring the more important ones. That’s why today, I will share the best strategies that will help you in prioritising your tasks.
Another perspective for setting priorities is through Darren’s 5 Ds.
Do – Put your maximum effort into getting things done.
Delay – Delay something you can’t do until you have free time to do it.
Delegate – Have someone else do something you can’t do in your stead.
Delete – Focus on another task or remove it from your priorities.

A partnership has proven to be one of the best strategies when it comes to achieving your goals. You see, you are more likely to commit to a task when you are accountable to someone for it. A partner will keep you in check and away from all the distractions that are in the way of achieving your goals.
With an accountability partner, you can always ask for advice whenever you need it. Make sure that you choose your partner wisely. Choose someone you trust, someone you respect who can call you out when you are giving in to distractions and temptations.
