You bashed monsters by hitting keys on your keyboard whilst wondering if you could hook up a nodding bird à la Homer Simpson. You’d lose a crucial part of your life (and your income, if your writing forms all or part of your paid work). Having accountability in that way can definitely help drive us towards our goals.
