Welcome to Friday folx! Do you ever hit the end of your personal work week with a few loose ends, tasks you've been avoiding, phone calls to make, or other things on the checklist that would just feel great to have finished?

There are a variety of strategies to get things done, and maybe there's a longer piece that's going to get written soon to help but here's one strategy: accountability buddies! Naming the thing you want to accomplish to someone else can help increase the likelihood of completing it. Feel free to drop your task in the comments and we will be sure to cheer you along today. Remember, the task can be right sized for your energy and situation.
