Things you're allowed to do

Support and accountability… Engage a human productivity monitor

In this section the author suggests good methods of recruiting other people to hold you accountable but doesn't offer much in the way of SOLO tools/techniques for holding yourself accountable.

For me, the website-blocking app Freedom is among the most powerful self-accountability tools for doing knowledge work.

Don’t drink (alcohol), even when you’re expected to.

^this resonated with me because I frankly don't enjoy drinking, yet the older I get the more people want to casually pass me a drink. I always decline, but sometimes, if I want to be polite, I'll just hold it and take small sips here and there. Minor trick for navigating social situations.

Ask people out on dates. Ask your friends to set you up.

^this too. You simply can't trust and rely on dating applications to run your life. It's unique. The best way to meet people is through chance and through your network. On dating sites, it goes without saying, the people you meet are rarely anything like their photos, and meeting them for the first time is unnatural and awkward. No hate to anyone who has their SO from a dating site, I just find it a bit depressing.

"Say “I don’t know” or “I don’t have an opinion” when you don’t"
This single piece of advice has kept me out of trouble some conversations. I used to make assumptions just to respond, but knowing when to stay quiet is a useful skill.

Move close to friends

This is underrated imo. Whenever my friends are choosing where to live, they seem to prioritize things like "how big are the bathrooms" and "what material is the countertops" etc. But they don't factor in "how far away am I from my friends?"

Distance really matters. Living in the same city as your friends is good. But living in the same neighborhood is life-changing. I was just a few blocks from one of my best friends a year or so when I first moved to Seattle, and we saw each other 10x more than we do now that they've moved a 30m drive away.
