The scoreboard most of us keep
Intention as progress: good plans announced.
The scoreboard this room gives you
Completion of formal commitments: how many of the few you wrote down got finished, on a date, to a measure.
The question this room answers
What are the three things that, if finished by December, would make the year worth something?
What the room covers
- Why intentions are not commitments
- The anatomy of a real commitment: what, by when, measured how, and who will ask
- Someone who asks versus private resolve
- How to choose the few over the many
- What makes a commitment hold under pressure
The exercise
Name your three to five second-half commitments. Give each commitment a completion date, a specific measure, and the name of someone who will ask about that commitment. Read your commitments aloud in the room.
What you walk out with
Walk out with a written list of three to five things you will finish before December. Each commitment gets a date, a name, and someone who asks.
You leave with your written commitment list.
You do not need the earlier rooms. Walk in this month, and leave with your written commitment list.
You become someone whose word holds: when you say the work will be done, the room already believes you.

The Return Inventory
Read your year before you choose a room. The Return Inventory is free and takes about four minutes. You see where your year stands and the one room you most need, so the work starts from your real year.
