I Heart High School!

When has there ever been a better accountability system in your life than high school!!!??? If you miss more than a certain number of days OR if you get below a certain score, you have to repeat the whole freakin year or take summer classes! How's that for motivation? Does that light a fire under you?

Every single day, periods are set for you to show up at. You get breaks and bells remind you when the period starts and ends. If you start to do really poorly, your parents are notified. If you have a strong peer group you like, you'll have an extra level of accountability and fun.

The only problem is that you're taking required classes that are often irrelevant to achieving your goals, the teachers aren't always the best, and you don't have a choice in the matter. You have to participate.

Now, picture this!! What would it look like if you had the same level of accountability, but for your most important goals!!?? What if you got to pursue these goals with some of the country's most ambitious students? Imagine if you got to choose periods like Get In Shape, Read Books I Love, Build My Closest Relationships, Work on What's Most Important at Work, Plan for Tomorrow, etc. How much of a difference would that make in your life over next year, the next five years, the rest of your life? Building these crucial habits could literally be the difference between death and life or success and failure.

We've taken the first steps to creating this level of accountability with our Getting Stuff Done program. We've been testing it throughout the summer, and it has achieved amazing results. I hope you like it.
