Accountability

I had an idea… So I missed posting here yesterday, even though I read y’alls stuff and got all inspired and thought of things I could say, I realized the day passed and I said nothing. Again, today, I almost went to bed without adding any insight until I had a thought. There are so many of us here, and it’s wonderful to have such a big group to watch reach their goals and cheer for you as well, it’s easy to get lost or forget who is who (ok, so I’m new and it’s probably easier for me than others.) But I thought, is it possible for us to pick one or two people, say the person above and below you on the log list, to double check that they’ve posted within the last day or so. If they haven’t, maybe send an encouraging email, “Hey! Hope you’re achieve [fill in their personal goal]. Don’t forget we’re here for you..” or whatever. I just thought that someone might slip through the cracks and stop updating and it’d be nice to have a little note from someone who is watching you reach your goals and wants to see you succeed.

Thoughts? I’m open!

I just realized though, when I went back to check, that the people above and below me are consistent posters, so I wouldn’t have to do anything according to your way, and I am more than willing to do something. Of course, I guess, that they may not always be the ones above and below. HMMM…Just tell me what to do and I will do it. Except jump off a bridge or something. :winking:

I wonder if there’s a “technical” way to see who hasn’t posted lately…

Or, we can just say, “hey! Who wants accountability! And hook up with each other.”

I’m sure there are technical ways. Somewhere in the database we could do a sort by posts or something. Just thought I’d try not to give Leanne more work. :-)

And Shelli, you’re right. I thought of that after the fact, too. So maybe an accountability option would be nice? I dunno. Just thinking out loud.
