As children we relished the day when adults would stop setting boundaries and keeping us on task so we could do what we wanted. Now we realize it's not that simple. 📲 We try to stay off our phones but we keep picking it up in the bedroom costing us our sleep and making us late. 🏋️ We keep saying we'll go to the gym but we don't make it out the door on time. 🍫 We know we need to stop snacking before bed but mindlessly pull things out of the fridge. It's time to face the facts. Beating ourselves up isn't working. It turns out we were spoiled having someone else keep us at our best. We try to solve the problem with reminders, calendar events, notifications, and apps but our brains know we can just swipe away and ignore to give in to our urge to mindlessly scroll and waste time. Research shows having an actual living human being keeping us accountable makes all the difference. It's easy to let ourselves down, but much harder to disappoint someone else. I created this service when I realized having someone we have to answer to when we're not committed to our goals and someone to celebrate with when we do is what makes all the difference in staying motivated.

@adam_grant5 so true. This is actually how I explained IWHYA to my 9yo. Sometimes he asks why we don't always follow the rules (like bedtime hygiened, etc.) and I've told him it's not so easy when you're adult with no one to hold you accountable. Really excited to see where this goes!
