Winnie the Pooh, that wise old bear, once remarked, “It’s so much more friendly with two.” So it goes, then.

Think about teaming up with someone else to help motivate each other to do work that truly matters.

Inquire of a close companion, a coworker, or a contact you’ve made online. Anywhere will do, all that matters is that you find one.

Then, make it a habit to check in on one another. Be supportive of one another, but don’t hesitate to kick each other’s butts if they fail to deliver.
