A good way to keep each other accountable is talking to each other on Discord. For people in Hawai'i, we all have a Hawai'i Students discord for us to hangout or talk. We could try make discord calls once every week where we can talk about Gameheads work, projects, and even just talk story. This helps us stay on top of our work, what to expect for Saturday or weeks in advance, and just making stronger connections with each other

We talked about how asking for criticism is a good way to hold yourself accountable while softening the blow. When you receive criticism unprompted you're more likely to be unreceptive to it. If you take the lead and ask for it, you're more likely to actually take the critiques.

I would hold myself accountable by asking others for constructive criticism and asking specifically where it occurred. I would also consider and think about the criticism I have gotten and decide weather I should follow it.

I think that I am held accountable by the person I am dating and by myself through anxiety. However, I am prone to slip and I do need reminders like this every once in a while. I feel that this will help me grab life by the reins and try to improve myself to be a better person. I think that the recording will help remind me to be better and hold myself accountable.

I hold others accountable with my words. When it's my friends, it's easy to be more direct and tell them if they're doing something wrong or good. If they're open to it/ask, it's easy to be direct with criticism too. With people I don't know well, it's harder. I'm not very good at talking to people I'm not close with. But that is something I hold myself accountable to. There's much I need to work on... and I practice on honing my communication skills in particular through therapy and just... practice. I can give many more examples! (≡^∇^≡)

You need to make general goal plans to track the progress that needs to be made. You also need to keep track of the progress you made as well for some progress isn't as noticeable as others and if you don't recognize it then it's easy to discourage yourself from continuing on.

How I keep myself accountable cuh - Roman Lopez

2025-04-26 19:58:47 UTC

For me, I often think about myself in the context of my friends, like if my friends saw me doing this, would they approve of my actions? The same goes for my friends, if I saw myself doing something and I think it doing more harm than good, would I accept that no. When it reaches this point, I hope an honest conversation can happen, and to remember that being called out is not an attack on you but a chance to really reflect and grow. To rise above your actions

Being accountable

2025-04-26 19:59:28 UTC

I keep myself accountable by acknowledging what I did and did not do. If I make a mistake I own it, no deflecting or projecting. I make sure if I commit to something I do it.

Setting things such as alarms, writing things down, or even the small things such as looking back at work that needs to be do right after is in my personal opinion good for keeping yourself accountable. When it comes to others you should always help them out to keep them accountable like how you do it.

Notion is VERY useful with organizing and keeping track of progress
Miro boards!!! Great for mood boards and collaboration
TODO lists where I outline what I need to get done and the steps/sub-tasks to get there
Utilizing calendar reminders and alarms to hold myself to certain tasks
Limiting distractions like video games and TV while working. Yes white noise in the background is nice to have but it distracts

To Hold Myself and others accountable

To hold myself accountable I make sure to reflect on how I conducted myself over the project or over a period of time, it helps me better myself and see how I can set myself up for success.

To hold others accountable I’ll try to have a discussion with them and create a plan to better the project our how we work. - Syrus

Working in groups works well, assisting others, and sharing out what we plan on doing. Listing out my tasks, using the Pomodoro method, and setting realistic goals helps me achieve my goals that much more easier.

Saraby

I hold myself accountable by accepting when I did something wrong that may have hurt someone (or even myself) and I take note of it to fix it in future situations. I always keep in mind when holding myself accountable that I can’t expect everyone to think the same way I do.

I hold others accountable by talking to them when something bothers me and try to reach a mutual agreement with them. I do my best to be truthful when having a conversation because that’s very important to me and I want the same back.

Accountability through Others

2025-04-26 20:00:38 UTC

It's easier to hold yourself accountable when working in groups rather than alone, as a person wouldn't want to let their teammates down by not being focused on the task at hand.

Erica Wagner

2025-04-26 20:00:41 UTC

I ask people in private what constructive criticism they have for what I did or didn't do when working. I'll ask for examples/specifics but also bring up situations I want feedback on. From this I set goals on what I can do to improve.

Mae

yahnmccallum2 — 2025-04-26 20:00:42 UTC

Being accountable can mean having other people with similiar goals to you share your work and talk about projects. I find that being able to talk about the problems I'm having with someone else helps motivate me to do the work. Asking for criticism also helps in that you get to view another's perspective, so that the end product can be much better than what you got alone.

Specific Feedback, you should review your own work and find it what areas you think need the most work, and ask for feedback on that area.

Maggie Chen

Something’s that we discussed on was the facts that it’s true that people are very independent and have a very individual mindset to worry about yourself and not help others. We brought up the fact of most people’s not even talking to their neighbors which led to decrease in having a community.

Accountability

2025-04-26 20:00:52 UTC

For accountability, I would say the biggest thing that helps me stay on track. Is understanding the importance that your input and projects impact the team and completing your work.

Therfore, getting your assignments and tasks done on time so that you do not delay the team. Is really really important. Game development is a team effort and you need to do your part. That also includes communication about where your game is in development as well.

And if there are any difficulties. COMMUNICATE. Just ask for help.

Accountability in education

gabebgsavio — 2025-04-26 20:00:54 UTC

Our group talked about how valuable social circles are for taking accountability, especially in environments when you're learning or bettering yourself. In a seemingly more and more individualistic world where competition in education is so normalized, being able to form a group where you all support each other and hold each other accountable is more important than ever. …

Honesty + Community even when difficult (Layia B)

layiabolden00 — 2025-04-26 20:00:57 UTC

The jist of our conversation was that holding people including yourself is a challenging thing to do. Wether it's defying the social cue to ignore inappropriate behavior and directly address someones' poor behavior, handle being reprimanded yourself with grace, implement healthy criticism moving forward, or excessively researching to reduce harm, none of that is easy. It all requires effort, discipline, and consistency. In the end, it is worth it.

Holding myself accountable

I hold myself accountable by updating a to-do list for all of my assignments and other major aspects of my life that need to be completed.

Organizing what I do is a great way for me to apply pressure on myself with still learning how much it'll take to crush me. So I keep myself accountable by planning out my actions and understanding why I list my tasks the way I do. If something is too hard and I have to give myself time for it then I'll work on myself in that area so for the future I'm ready. It's also good to hold others accountable.

Holding people accountable.

2025-04-26 20:01:08 UTC

In regards to keeping people accountable, what's important is communication.

Are people free? Do they have work to deal with? Are they still passionate about the project/event? Keeping in touch and making the effort to see how your peers are doing is a great way of discerning where they are and and what they can contribute.

Beyond that, punctuality and a commitment for seeing things through is important if you're heading a collective activity. If people sense a lack of commitment or excitement, they'll feel less incentivized to bring that to the table. Lead by example.

You can hold yourself and others accountable by ranking priorities and setting deadlines based off those priorities to rank what to do and get things done on time. And maybe getting yourself a reward for completing things on time :)

When holding someone accountable, it's important to be honest about it, even if it sounds a bit harsh. That way it is their opportunity to learn from their mistake and try again. The same can go for yourself.

Pam

2025-04-26 20:02:07 UTC

I arrived late today but holding each other accountable can look like breaking silence, even if that break is just being honest about reporting no progress made that week, but checking in with one another and being willing to take feedback and support one another.

I try to keep myself focused and accountable by working through procrastination and laziness which bring me down when I give in to them. When I find my focus it's usually just by getting up and doing my work, no matter if I don't want to or if I'd rather be doing something else. Just starting is great progress for me, because once I find my zone, I'm an unstoppable force.

Jana

2025-04-26 20:06:22 UTC

My main tactic is catching myself when I can see that something is putting me down and keeping me from getting something done, often being myself, procrastination and what not, I’d hold myself accountable by putting myself back in the right mindset, reasoning with myself whats gotta stop for me to move forward. I gotta remember that if you want to get somewhere, you have to actually try to get there and think strong to make that journey, you’re not just gonna teleport there magically, that’s not how you’ll grow. Get out of your comfort zones and do hard things to grow as a person.

I definitely have a lot to work on myself lol

How I hold myself accountable

I don’t have a good way of holding myself, but I do try my best at where I can improve myself without constantly putting so much unnecessary stress on myself that makes my mental health bad.

Crystal Cheung

About accountability, it's important to hold yourself and those you keep in your circle to a high moral/working standard. You don't want to enable those around you to keep being stagnant and you also don't want to be lazy and stay in the same lane forever.

A way I hold myself accountable is taking precaution as a first step. I know that my actions and my presence has an influence so I hold myself accountable, doing what I need to do and causing the least amount of trouble. Another way I would hold myself accountable is asking for support from my peers.

A way I hold those around me accountable is reminding them of what's important to them. Pushing them to their goals and giving support.

Joshua R. Making Goals and following through

2025-04-26 20:14:05 UTC

For myself I need to make goals and follow through to stay focused. I think I don't create goals so it is easier to procrastinate or forget.

Accountable

2025-04-26 20:21:57 UTC

One thing I find difficult is keeping track of time. I can be forgetful and slow so to keep myself on track I'm starting to make lists, putting things on calendars, and giving myself small goals to make progress. I often need reminders and I am often more motivated by other people, so I tell myself who I am doing this for, who do I want to succeed for?
