This is a YouTube video titled "The Power of Accountability for ADHD Success #ndoutloud #adhdsuccess #adhdaccountabiity" (posted 2024-10-29T21:48:13+00:00). The excerpt is a short dialogue between two speakers (labeled SPEAKER A and SPEAKER B) discussing accountability strategies for productivity and ADHD—covering daily check-ins, setting intentions, having a coach or accountability partner, and avoiding distraction from new tools. One speaker recounts running multiple businesses and homeschooling and credits coaching and accountability for staying on track.

Chapters

Who do I check in with daily? Who do I make sure that— because that's what helps me keep on track. Yeah. And if anybody asks me, what keeps you on track and what allows you to do— like, at one point I was running 6 businesses and was homeschooling. Like, I was doing 9,000 things. And people are like, how'd you do that? One, I had a coach myself, even though I'm a coach. Two, I have accountability. So I check in daily. I set my intentions every single day for my tasks. And then somebody else Responds to me and says, Danielle, that's not possible. What the frick are you thinking? Let's make that more manageable so that I don't get in that shame spiral. And 3, checks in with me to make sure I'm staying on track and not testing out new software, buying a new app.
Right. A lot of that is like mental delegation, right? I know that my brain is going to tell me I can and should do everything. Having a coach, having an accountability partner, even just having friends who get it, who you check in with, helps delegate some of that decision-making.
