Startsy and an accountability app
An accountability app can make a commitment visible to you or someone else. That can help when a deadline matters.
How they help
| Question | Accountability app | Startsy |
|---|---|---|
| What it helps with | Holding a commitment or deadline. | Finding a step small enough to do now. |
| What you still do yourself | Work out how to begin before the check-in. | Name the task and what makes it hard to start. |
| Cost of getting started | Set a goal, deadline or check-in. | Type one task and choose a reason. |
| Guilt mechanics | Depends on the app and the commitment you set. | No penalties or guilt screens for stopping. |
When to use both
Use an accountability app for the commitment, and Startsy when you need a concrete first move toward it.
